Q: Some parents and guests were denied entry into Spelman College’s graduation. How was it communicated that guests should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony and the doors would be closed?

— Robin Hispow, Roswell

A: Spelman College's office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies mailed information to graduates' parents in the fall and the spring, in addition to communicating "via printed materials, email, social media and verbally at Senior Class Council town hall meetings," school spokeswoman Audrey Arthur told Q&A on the News in an email. The Senior Class Council used social media to share information about timing and other logistics, and commencement tickets also included a notice that doors would close at 2:30 p.m. and not reopen. Spelman plans to add an intermission to future commencement ceremonies to allow "those who arrive after the start of the ceremony" to enter," Arthur wrote. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that about 150 people from as far away as California, New York and Canada were denied entry into the ceremony at the Georgia International Convention Center on May 19. "We deeply regret family members missed the opportunity to see their graduate receive her degree," she wrote.
