To Our Guests Commencement is the premier academic ceremony. This formal conferral of degrees marks the graduates’ mastery of SIUE curricula – undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional. At its best, it is an occasion of dignity, recognition and celebration. To preserve the decorum of the event, please exercise etiquette appropriate for the occasion and express your excitement in ways that will not prevent others from hearing the speakers and enjoying the ceremony. The University requests that all photographs be taken from your seat or following the ceremony. Please move to the lobby areas or outdoors, weather permitting, for photos.

For your convenience, we have made arrangements with Grad Images™ for a professional photographer to record the moment graduates receive their diploma covers. Students receive by mail a passport-sized, full-color image approximately one week after the ceremony. There is no obligation to purchase, and students will have the option of ordering several enlargement packages via website, phone, facsimile or mail. This service enables each student to have a photograph of the ceremony. Family members and friends are requested to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony. Professional photographs are available for all students. Grad Images™ guarantees complete satisfaction with the photographs or a full refund will be given with no questions asked. The transaction is between the student and the photographer; SIUE will not be involved.

In keeping with the occasion, we ask that all guests stand when the processional begins. After the ceremony has been completed, there will be a recessional of the platform party. Please remain in your seats until the platform party has cleared the Commencement area.

** The Commencement program was printed with accurate graduation records as of 4:30 p.m., Friday, December 1, 2017. A final version with full records will be available the week following the ceremonies at siue.edu/commencement.
