Pick Up Your Cords & Stoles

- Honor Cords are distributed at check-in on the date of the event. See Honors eligibility requirements.
- Veteran Cords are available from our Veterans Services coordinator. Email shenofsky.allison@spcollege.edu to make arrangement to obtain your cord.
- Student Organizations & Departmental Program Regalia
Cords & stoles designating membership in student organizations or honor societies must be picked up in advance. Contact your organization for specific instructions on obtaining this regalia.
Name Card
The week before SPC Commencement, you will receive your Name Card in the mail. This postcard will include important information on arrival times, parking and general direction.
Bring this card with you!
Your Name Card is your "fast pass". You do not need to check in upon arrival and can immediately be seated. The card will be used to call your name as you walk across the stage and will be given the official photographer to match with your photo
