Regalia Pickup for Graduates Who Missed the Shipping Deadline

If you were unable to select the home shipment option by the deadline, you may still obtain your regalia (cap and gown) on-site at the Prudential Center on the day of Commencement. Upon arrival, please complete graduate check-in and then proceed to the regalia distribution room for pickup.

Please note that regalia will be available in limited quantities and will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strongly encourage you to arrive early, as doors will open at 7:30 AM.

We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with you!

Create Your Graduate Slide

The opportunity to customize your grad slide with a photo and quote has now closed.

At this time, please note that you will still have a graduate slide displayed during the ceremony, which will include your first and last name along with your degree program.

An example of how your name will appear is shown on the right. Your name will also be announced as you cross the stage.

How to Say Your Name: Tell Us How to Say Your Name

Unfortunately, the opportunity to submit the phonetic spelling of your name has now closed.

Please note that your name will still be announced during the ceremony. If you would like to confirm how your name will be pronounced, you may do so at the Graduate Check-In area upon arrival at the Prudential Center. At check-in, you will receive your Center Stage card and have the opportunity to scan it to hear a recording of how your name will be announced as you cross the stage.

If you are not satisfied with the pronunciation, you will have the option to have your name announced live. In this case, you may request an index card, write the phonetic spelling of your name, and provide it to the live announcer, who will read your name as you walk across the stage.

Please note that if you choose this option, the slide with your Name, Degree, and Major will not be displayed on the Jumbotron. Instead, a generic “Congratulations, Graduate” message will appear.

Schedule Your Graduation Photo

Berkeley College has partnered with The Grad Team Photography. Graduates will have the opportunity to have their graduate pictures taken in their cap and gown. Please remember to bring your cap and gown if you would like to wear them in pictures.

Additionally, if you have received a Veterans Honor Cord, Berkeley College Honors Program Cord, NSLS Cord, and/or Honor Society Stole, please remember to bring it to wear in your graduate picture.

Graduates can sign up for an appointment at any campus. It is important that graduates only sign up for one timeslot.

Graduates will be emailed information on how to register for a timeslot at one of the above Graduate Salutes.
