Photography

The Commencement Committee has arranged to have ZAP Photography at the ceremony to take high quality photographs of the graduates receiving their diplomas. Proofs will be sent to each graduate within seven days after Commencement. There is no obligation to purchase the finished prints.

If graduates order photographs, the prints will be delivered within thirty days or the deadline printed on the order card. If graduates choose to purchase a print, the cost for 5x7 color prints is $5.95 each. They may also wish to purchase an 8x10 in a folder for $11.95. Graduates who do not want to purchase prints may keep the proof provided at no cost. ZAP Photography is the only photographer authorized by the University to sell photographs to the graduates.

PLEASE NOTE that to preserve the dignity of the ceremony, members of the audience are not allowed to come up to the stage to take pictures. Each graduate will have the opportunity to purchase prints from ZAP Photography.

A live webcast of the Commencement ceremony will be available through the University website. More information to come.
