  • Dress code

    As your graduation is a formal event, best to dress as if you’re attending a business interview. Your graduation gown is three-quarter length and draped at the front, so keep in mind that your clothing will show underneath. Also make sure to wear footwear suitable for going up and down a few flights of stairs.

  • Photography

    Professional photographers will be available after the ceremony to capture you and your family celebrating this very important occasion.
