Graduation Format - What to Expect
We are excited to share our Virtual Commencement Celebration
with you! Here is how to tune in on the big day:
- A link to the online celebration will be sent to each graduate,
as well as every member of the NUHS community the week of the
event.
- The website will go live on Friday, April 23rd,
2021 and will remain live for a year. This means
that if loved ones can't watch the day of, they can
still celebrate your accomplishments at a later
time!
- On the commencement website, there will be
pre-recorded welcome videos, as well as student
speeches.
- Each graduate also had the opportunity to create an
individual slide for themselves with their name, degree and a
self-selected photo in addition to a pre-recorded message for loved
ones.
Graduate FAQs
What is my Commencement
checklist? Your checklist of things to complete
before Commencement includes a few things you've probably already
done, a few things that are required, and a few things that are
completely optional. No matter your program, here are the things
you need to take care of prior to the big day:
- Submit the Graduation Petition online from the Registrar's
Office
- Order Herff Jones grad regalia
- Complete the instructions from Marching Order for your graduate
slide: Submit the following information via Marching Order:
- A professional headshot, grad photo, or nice picture of
yourself (see below)
- Your name, as you'd like it to be displayed
- Phonetic pronunciation
- Selfie Video
- Personal Quote
Will I be on-camera? No. The
graduation celebration is pre-recorded, meaning you won't have to
be "on-camera" at any point. We would like to project your
image along with your name, the program you are graduating from,
and honors if applicable. If you would rather not have your image
projected, please let us know.
How about grad photos? This year,
NUHS is happy to offer professional headshots/graduate photos.
Student Services will email you shortly regarding photo session
details!
When will I get my diploma? Your
diploma will be either available for pick up after 4/23/21 or
mailed to you after that date. The Registrar's Office can handle
any questions about diploma printing directly.
So… do I have to
participate? If you don't want to,
you don't have to (although we really hope you do!). The
beauty of a virtual world is the option to opt-in to things… so if
a virtual commencement isn't your jam, we totally
understand.
…can I still watch it back
later? Yup! Recordings of each ceremony will be
made available through NUHS's commencement site and various social
media channels following the initial broadcast. Expect to see it,
and be able to share it, by Friday, April 23rd.
Viewer FAQs
Will the celebration be held
live? No, the celebration will be 100%
pre-recorded. However, it will debut at a specific time so we'll be
watching it at that time and invite you too as well, if you are
able, or any time thereafter.
How can I support my grad(s)? We
encourage all viewers to follow NUHS on Facebook or Instagram and leave a message of support to our
grads on our April 23 posts!
