Every student who has registered for Commencement will have a card with their name, a unique number and a QR code. You will get this card from your marshal at the lineup on the day of Commencement.
This card is your pass to participate in the ceremony, have your photo taken and receive your diploma/case. Do not lose this card. We suggest taking a picture of the card just in case.
