Student Central News For those of you who plan to attend the 2017 Commencement Ceremony, we were just made aware of a new “Clear Bag Policy” in effect at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center that we want to share so that you do not encounter any difficulties that night. We are also sharing this information with our graduates who will be walking so that they and their families will not be surprised upon entry.
Please note that this year they are “encouraging” this policy and will not turn away anyone with a purse. Below is the policy and attached is a visual of what is recommended.
A Clear Bag Policy has been initiated at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. Under the new policy, each guest is allowed one clear bag (plus clutch or small purse) into events that conform to the following restrictions:
– CLEAR plastic, vinyl or PVC that are no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” (readily available one-gallon, clear, re-sealable plastic storage bags meet the policy)
– If a logo appears on the bag, it cannot be larger than 4.5” x 6.5”
– Small clutch bags no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”, or approximately the size of a hand, with or without a strap are allowed.
– Medically necessary items that are too large to fit into a clear bag within allowable dimensions can be brought in only after clearing a screening process.
The clear bag policy has been adopted to allow for a safer environment at Florida State events and in keeping with increased security practices being implemented at venues around the country.
