- REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY CLOSED. Check back in October 2023.
Registration helps us plan for all aspects of the ceremony for example number of name cards, number of chairs, number of photographers, etc.
There are two registration links because the ceremonies are different. The Chancellor’s Recognition Ceremony needs to plan for the number of chairs, photographers, a graduation gift for each graduate from all schools that attends, etc. Olin has a unique registration link to ensure accurate seating and, most importantly, the pronunciation of your name during the ceremony. Olin’s unique link will ask you to provide the phonetic pronunciation of your name and actually have you record your name so we can ensure it is pronounced as accurately as possible when you cross the stage.
Yes, regalia is required for both The Chancellor’s Recognition Ceremony and the Olin Graduation Recognition Ceremony. Click here to reserve your regalia through the campus bookstore. If you are attending both ceremonies, you only need to rent regalia once and wear it to both.
Awards for the Undergraduate Program Degrees and Full-time MBA Program are presented in May Ceremonies only.
