It’s graduation season throughout El Paso County, and thousands of students — from high school seniors to college graduates — are preparing to celebrate their achievements with family, friends and classmates. Ceremonies are scheduled throughout May and June at venues across the region, with many taking place at the University of Texas at El Paso’s Don Haskins Center, 151 Glory Road.
Graduates and guests planning to attend ceremonies at the Don Haskins Center should be aware of venue policies to ensure a smooth experience. The arena enforces a clear bag policy, requiring all bags to be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and not exceed dimensions of 12 inches long, 6 inches wide and 12 inches tall. No outside food or beverages are allowed, and professional cameras, tripods and drones are prohibited. Additional restricted items include noisemakers, helium balloons, large signs or banners, glass containers, vapor products, selfie sticks, laser pointers and strollers.
The venue also has a strict no re-entry policy for all events. Once you leave the facility, you will not be allowed back in, even if you still have a valid ticket. All patrons are subject to search and/or wanding by security personnel upon entry, and smoking is prohibited anywhere on UTEP property.
