what to know

What is a commencement card

Your commencement card is:

  • your pass to the ceremony.
  • what you hand to the tent staff to receive your diploma/case.
  • how the photographers match your name to your photo.

When and where you will receive your card

You will go to your college's lineup for the processional and receive your card from a marshal near your college's orange banner, next to the alpha-split for the first letter of your last name.

Find your college's lineup starting point and get directions on theĀ interactive campus map!

  • Each college will have a different card color.
  • There is helpful information on both sides of the card.
  • There is a QR code to register for your photos.

Pre-register for your photo proofs.
