There will be no security or place to leave items once the processional starts.  You should make arrangements for someone to be responsible for your valuables during the ceremony.  Bring only your cap and gown for line-up.  Check you cap, tassel and gown before arriving at the site.  Be sure to bring any pins or clips you may need to anchor your cap - in case there is a strong breeze at the ceremony site.
