answer:This is a template, complete with timing. The MC will likely veer from this, but it’s a decent yardstick. I’d say that you’re looking at a couple hours of ceremony, times two or three if there is a rehearsal. It’s kind of a big deal (certainly there’s as much pomp as a graduation), and you may not get to see another one. I suggest that you go in expecting to enjoy it. Personally, I love a ceremony.
