CLEAR BAG POLICY

The Cajundome's Clear Bag Policy will be in effect for all graduation ceremonies.

Each person, including children, may carry one approved clear bag, such as a one-gallon clear storage bag or clear purse no larger than 12" x 12" x 6".

The following bags will be permitted inside the Cajundome and are subject to search.

• Gallon size clear plastic storage bag
• Clear bag equal to or smaller than 12" x 12" x 6"
• A clutch or purse smaller than 6.5" x 4.5" (does not have to be clear)
• Equipment bag for necessary medical items
• Diaper bag for age-appropriate children accompanied by an adult.

Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: large purses, duffle bags, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, mesh bags, or any bag larger than the permissible sizes mentioned above. Tinted or printed-pattern plastic bags are not clear, so they will not be permitted.
