The Grad Team will be the official photographers for the ceremony. Students should pre-register so the photographers have their preferred contact information. This allows the photographer to provide students with a link to their images in the fastest possible manner following your ceremony. Students can also upload a "selfie" to help the photographers separate their images from the hundreds that will be taken at the ceremonies.
