Any student earning a Bachelor of Arts, Master's or Doctoral degree from the English Department Autumn 2009 through Summer 2010 is welcome and encouraged to participate in the Department of English celebration.
If you plan to attend the English Department ceremony, you must RSVP indicating that you will participate. Registration for the ceremony will begin in April 2010; the deadline to RSVP is Monday, May 24, 2010.
TICKETS REQUIRED:
When you RSVP, you will indicate how many guest tickets you will need (the initial limit is 4 tickets, but there may be additional tickets available after the first allotment is distributed). TICKETS CANNOT BE REPLACED, so please take good care of them!
Important information regarding the English Department celebration
and the BIG campus-wide UW Commencement 2010:
* THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CEREMONIES: The English Department celebration on June 9th is separate from the university-wide commencement ceremony on June 12th, and therefore you will need to register for each event SEPARATELY (RSVPing to one will not carry over to the other). The campus-wide commencement information can be found at the UW Commencement website. The UW Commencement site will be "live" for registration between May 3rd and May 23rd, 2010.
*GRADUATE EARLY CHECK-IN: Graduates are to check-in at 1:15 p.m. for assembly. Please have a family member or friend hold your valuables during the ceremony; there will be nowhere to store purses, bags, or other items while you are waiting to line up and while you go through the processional and cross the stage.
* CAP AND GOWN: You are welcome, but not required, to wear cap and gown to the English Department celebration on June 9th. You MUST rent cap and gown to participate in the large university-wide commencement ceremony on June 12th. Cap and gown rental information is available on the UW Commencement website.
* PARKING: If you need parking permits for yourself or guests for the English Department celebration on June 9th, you MUST purchase them through the UW commencement website.
