Graduation Preparations

First things first.

*Candidates for graduation must complete a Degree Application Card with their respective college in order to participate in commencement. Undergraduate students complete the application in their Advising Office, Graduate and Law students do so in their Dean's Office. Graduate Business students will receive their degree application card in the mail from the Graduate Business Programs office during their final semester.

If you are scheduled to graduate on December 20, 2008, you will want to be sure and attend Senior Salute on October 21st and 22nd in the Great Hall of ACAC. Senior Salute is a two-day event allowing you an opportunity to tie up loose ends in one location--you don't want any surprises the day before commencement.

You will be able to meet with representatives from Financial Aid and the Business Office to make sure financing is squared away;
Stop by the Alumni booth and learn how you can get involved after graduation
Order announcements, rings, and diploma frames
Pick-up your cap and gown--at no cost, and
Smile for the camera, a photographer will be on hand to take your picture in your cap and gown

Oh, and don't forget to enter the drawing for some cool gifts. Each booth will have entry forms available, pick one up at each booth you visit, fill them out, and put them in the box at the Student Affairs booth. The more you fill out, the better your chances of winning. Cookies, coffee, and hot apple cider will be available while you're visiting the booths. Can't wait to see you there.

If your are unable to attend Senior Salute and wish to order personalized announcements, you may call Jostens direct at 1-800-353-5299 or on line at www.jostens.com to place your order. If you were unable to pick up your cap and gown at Senior Salute, you may pick them up in the Campus Bookstore in the Allen Chapman Activity Center beginning Monday, October 27th.
