Staff assistants are requested to arrive no later than 7:15 a.m. for the graduate and morning undergraduate ceremony and no later than 11:45 a.m. for the afternoon undergraduate ceremony.
Since Friday's ceremony falls during the workday, stipends will not be issued for working that ceremony. For anyone (administrative or classified) working the Saturday ceremonies, a stipend of $100 ($50 per ceremony) will be added to the next regular paycheck following commencement.
Due to the timeframe that commencement falls in relation to the end of the fiscal year we will approve the stipends the week prior to commencement based on the responses. Please be sure to sign in for your assigned shifts and make every effort to notify us of any changes in your availability to minimize any payroll complications. Please call 740-331-4885 with any questions or availability updates.
A confirmation e-mail with your assignment will be sent to you along with full details about the commencement orientation meeting, which will take place at 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 11, on the floor of the Convocation Center.
