Stage passes, or digital stage cards, are an electronic version of the traditional stage card used to facilitate ceremony display and/or check-in graduates. Stage passes are distributed via the registration website and can be scanned from a phone or printed copy. They eliminate the time-consuming and personnel-heavy process of printed card distribution.

We recommend that you verify that each graduate has a valid pass prior to line-up. In addition to visually checking, you can use the Tassel Ticketing App or Director software to scan each graduate's pass as they arrive.
Graduates without a valid pass should be directed to the Graduate Help Desk and given a pre-printed backup label or be added to the ceremony using a blank card. See the Graduate Help Desk section for more details.

When scanning from graduate phones, consider the following factors:

If you are using stage cards at your ceremony, you can distribute cards ahead of the ceremony date (at a graduate event or by mail) or distribute them on the day of your ceremony. If you distribute cards prior to your ceremony date, request a duplicate set of stage cards for graduates that do not bring their card.

All graduates that were included on your graduate list when it was processed for printing will have a stage card. Graduates with a pre-printed stage card may continue to the graduate line-up area after checking in.

Graduates without a pre-printed card should be directed to the Graduate Help Desk where they can receive a blank card and be added to the Director software.
