A photo registration form will be available closer to the ceremony date so day-of portraits can be emailed to you.
Ceremony photos
All candidates will have their photo taken as they cross the stage at the Kohl Center to receive their diploma cover and a solo portrait after they exit the stage. Photo stations at Gates A and B will be available before and after the ceremony for graduate portraits with friends and family.
Make sure to complete the photo registration form prior to the ceremony so day-of portraits can be emailed to you. Proofs will be sent to graduates and their families within 48 hours of the ceremony. Your commencement is a once-in-a-lifetime moment so don’t miss out!
