Commencement Management — Coordinate
every ceremony.
Commencement Management replaces spreadsheets and check-in chaos with one platform for graduate tracking, ticketing, seating, and day-of operations — across every ceremony, every year.
Everything you need to run commencement management as an operational system.
Graduate tracking
Single source of truth for eligibility, RSVPs, name pronunciation, regalia, and honors — synced across the teams that need it.
Tickets & guests
Issue and manage guest tickets with allocations, waitlists, and accessibility requests. Replace email backlogs with a real workflow.
Seating & logistics
Plan venue seating, line-up order, and processional flow with tools built for ceremony scale — not generic event apps.
Stakeholder dashboards
Registrar, deans, marshals, and event staff see exactly what they need — counts, exceptions, and day-of changes in real time.
Communications
Coordinate templated emails to graduates and guests for milestones, instructions, and last-minute updates from one hub.
Day-of operations
Check-in, line-up, and reader-card flow tools keep the ceremony moving smoothly from the first name to the recessional.
A ceremony worthy of the milestone.
