Family and friends wishing to take photographs of candidates are requested to do so either from their seats or before and after ceremony. It is disruptive to have numerous people rushing the stage during the hooding for photographs. Please respect the dignity of the ceremony. Commencement photo order forms will be in Commencement Information packet. For photographic purposes, wear your tassel to the right when you are on stage.
Many photographs are undeliverable due to hair or tassels blocking the face.
Hair should be styled or placed over the shoulders so it will not block the face from the camera s view when proceeding across the stage. Black tassel for master s candidates. You do NOT need to rent a hood. Pick up academic dress early to ensure getting the proper size. Return gowns to Bookstore table at the reception.
