Photos

A professional photographer will take a photo of each graduate during the ceremony.

Order forms for the photos will be in the diploma cover you receive. Guests may take pictures from their seats but cannot be in the aisles due to safety hazards.

Ceremonial Tips for Graduates

• Wear business clothes (no jeans) with comfortable shoes. You will be walking on uneven ground and up steps to the stage.
• Wear your tassel towards the front on the right side of your cap.
• Remain standing until all graduates are at their seats.
• Be respectful of commencement speakers.
• Get your name card from the ESCC staff in the room. Do not lose it! You must have it ready to hand to Professor Zodun, who will announce your name.
• Once Professor Zodun announces your name, you will receive your diploma from Dr. Minus with your left hand and shake his hand with your right hand. You will then shake hands with the ESCC Advisory Board Chair and exit the stage.
• Your diploma cover will contain directions for ordering pictures taken by the photographer. You will be notified by text when your Academic degrees and/or certificate are available. This does not apply to Workforce students. Please contact Workforce at 757-789-7979 for more information.
• No balloons will be permitted.
