At your assembly area, faculty marshals and student ushers will organize the processional lines. Candidates will line up behind the sign designating their departments.

| Photography |
As a service to students and their friends and families, a commercial photographer will be taking two pictures of every candidate as he/she crosses the stage. Candidates will receive photo proofs in the mail at the address given at the ceremony and may then order photos as desired, although there is no obligation to do so.

Guests must remain seated throughout the ceremony and may not block the view of others for purposes of taking pictures or videos.
