  • Bring the enclosed index card with you. (Sent to students only.) Since you will be crossing the stage to receive your diploma folder and your name will be called, it is important that you bring the enclosed index card with your name on it. You will pass it to a reader as you approach the stage. Doctoral candidates, please disregard this information. Special instructions will be mailed to you.
