Notes for all graduates

Your guests must present tickets for admission to the ceremony.

Orientation - It is very important that graduates attend the orientation session preceding the ceremony.  Led by the University Marshal, the session provides grads with information ranging from the proper way to wear the academic hood to the degree-granting procedure.

The Procession Card - This is the card from which your name will be read out as you cross the stage to graduate. In addition to your name, it will contain a number to ensure that you are lined up and seated in the correct order.
