Hello Graduate,

As we approach your commencement ceremony, we want to share important information with you. Please read this email carefully to ensure you have all the necessary details.

NOTE: If you are not planning to participate in commencement, disregard this email.

COMMENCEMENT TICKETS:
This is your FINAL REMINDER to claim your commencement tickets and record your name pronunciation. The deadline is 11:59 pm on Monday, April 15th, 2024. After this, any unclaimed tickets will be lost. Extra ticket requests will be announced by around Wednesday, April 17th, 2024. To complete the Ticketing & Name Verification form, please log into your Marching Order account.

NAME VERIFICATION VS. NAME ON YOUR DEGREE:
By submitting your name verification on Marching Order, you are changing how your name will be announced and displayed during the Commencement Ceremonies. Changing your name on the Marching Order Account does not change the name on your degree. To change the name on your degree, please complete one of the following forms:

• Graduate Students: https://www.csun.edu/sites/default/files/Diploma_Name_Change_0.pdf
Note: While Marching Order may not mention middle names, this does not imply that your middle name will not be included on your degree.

HONORS CONVOCATION INVITATIONS/TICKETS:
If you qualify for Honors (Scholastic or Personal Achievement), you will receive a formal invitation and ticketing information at the end of April. For information on Honors Convocation, please visit our website.

CEREMONY INFORMATION/CEREMONY COMMENCEMENT HANDBOOK:
