Overview - Creating Your Digital Program

Your digital commencement program is a modern, interactive way to celebrate your graduates and share ceremony details with family and guests. Instead of printing programs, your school will receive a beautifully designed digital program that can be shared through a link, QR code, embedded on your website, or downloaded as a PDF. 

Tassel uses a standardized digital program template, customized with your school’s colors and logos for the cover page, back page, table of contents, and graduate listing. While these core sections follow our proven design format, you’re welcome to include up to six pages of customizable content that we will help you design. 

If you’d like to see an example for what your final program may look like, visit our website at https://tassel.com/digital-programs
