## Frequently Asked Questions

Expand AllCollapse All
### Can I participate in a virtual as well as in-person ceremony?

Yes, you are welcome to participate in both.

### How can graduates invite their family and friends to the ceremony?

It’s easy. When they become available, send them the direct commencement link to the virtual commencement you registered for prior to the ceremony. Commencements will be available for viewing up to 30 days after the ceremony.

### Will graduates be on camera? If not, how else can people participate live?

No. Graduates will not be on camera and therefore no camera is required. However, everyone is encouraged to post celebratory comments in the chat window throughout the ceremony, which is viewable to all.

### Is regalia required?

Regalia is not required, but some students might want to order a set for pictures or memorabilia. If so, you can do so [here](http://colleges.herffjones.com/college/uopx/). Be sure to select 'virtual' as the location. Military graduates can also order a military cord. If you want to have regalia in time for your personalized slide photo, you must order by midnight on these dates:

- Deadline for doctoral graduate custom regalia: February 5, 2025
- Deadline for standard shipping: March 7, 2025
- Deadline for expedited 2-day shipping: March 12, 2025

### Will there be a program available for this ceremony?

Yes, there will be a [digital program](http://www.gilmore.ca/ApolloCommencementBook/) that can be downloaded and shared with family and friends. It will be available the day of the ceremony as well as one month after the ceremony. Also, doctoral graduates will see their dissertation titles and chair names in the program.
