*Ceremony Attendance Form Deadlines
- Meeting the Nov 12 deadline ensures your name appears in Virtual ceremony program/online recognition and in the printed ceremony program, as well as provides the mailing address for your diploma.
- Completing the form between Nov 12 and Dec 11, ensures your name appears in the printed Dec 2020 ceremony program and provides the mailing address for your diploma.
- Dec/Jan degree candidates can complete the Ceremony Attendance Form after December 11, 2020 to ensure correct diploma mailing address; however, your name will not appear in the printed December 2020 ceremony program, but rather the May 2021 ceremony program.
