Aside from acquiring the cap, gown and tassel, students were given the option of buying graduation announcements, diploma frames, class rings and souvenir tassels.

Commencement tickets were also given to each senior at Grad Finale.Each student was allotted five tickets. Seniors unable to pick up their tickets during Grad Finale can pick them up at the registrar's office. These tickets must be picked up no later than Nov. 30.

Graduating seniors attending Grad Finale met with representatives from the Office of Financial Aid, the Office of Alumni Relations, the Career Center and the Graduate School to discuss their plans after graduation.These representatives urge seniors that did not make it to Grad Finale to drop by their offices to gather important graduation materials as soon as possible.
