3. Invitation Sample. Feel free to use our idea or create your own.

4. Letters to graduation cermony participants -- We call and ask the people if they would be willing to serve our students by fulfilling the particular role in our service that we desire. If they agree, we follow it up with a letter. At the service, we ensure that everyone who is participating in the service have a corsage (including the servers at the reception).

5. Graduate Letters.

Student letter with Invitation. This letter is sent to the graduating student approximately one month prior to graduation and includes graduation invitations that the student can give to family and friends inviting them to the commencement service.

Graduation Participation letter. This letter is sent out one week prior to graduation to the graduates and contains some of the same info that the student letter did that we sent one month prior to graduation but also includes final details for graduation -- when they should arrive, where they should go, etc.

When students are within 45 days of receiving their certificate or diploma, please follow these instructions to prepare for graduation:

1. Complete the Graduation Certificate Request form: (English) (Spanish).

Additionally, when submitting transcripts, please be aware that we will print the certificate using the name exactly as it appears on the transcript. So if the graduate would like a different name listed on their graduation certificate, please make it clear when you send us the transcript.

2. We will draft the certificates and email them to you for proofreading and spelling.

3. Once you approve the drafts, we will prepare the certificates for signature.

5. Upon receipt of the completed transcripts, we will mail the certificates to you.

Would you like Dr. Davis to address your graduates? He is tremendously honored to address graduates at any graduation ceremony, however his schedule seldom allows for him to attend these celebrations.  If you are interested in having Dr. Davis speak to your graduates on video, please complete the following request form:
