1. In the beginning of February, you will receive an email from “Name Coach”. Please log on so you can submit a recording with the correct pronunciation of your name as you wish it to be announced at the Commencement Ceremony.

[Anyone who has submitted their name recording will receive a free t-shirt at the “100 Days to Graduation” event; first-come, first-served. This will take place the first week of March.]

2. Meet with the Registrar for your audit during the fall/winter term.

3. Order your cap and gown. An email will be sent to each senior by the Campus Store by the end of April. The email will contain a link for you to order your cap and gown. If you need assistance, please contact Mark Yetman, Campus Store Manager.

4. Plan for moving out of your residence hall by 6:00pm on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
