Photos During the Ceremony

Graduation 

To allow graduates to safely proceed to and exit the stage area, we ask that no photographs be taken in the aisles or the area closest to the stage. 

For enhanced viewing of the ceremony, a video production company will project the ceremony on two large screens in the arena. Please note that the lights in the arena will be dimmed after the graduates have been seated.

As each graduate receives their diploma, a picture will be taken by professional photographers from Chappell Studios. A second posed photo will be taken directly off stage. The proofs will be mailed to you within two weeks of the ceremony. You will deal directly with the studio regarding this service. Please call (800) 424-3686 with any questions.
