Why Use Graduate Check-In?
Overview
We recommend using the Graduate Check-In tool at the arrival point/card distribution area so that ceremony administrators can verify that graduates have a valid digital stage pass or paper graduate card. Graduates with valid passes/cards can continue to the student line-up area. Anyone without a valid pass/card can be directed to the Help Desk for support.
Using the Graduate Check-in feature, you can track attendance in real-time and utilize the data for various purposes, such as:
- Confirming honors or veteran status to determine cord eligibility.
- Tracking numbers for logistical purposes, such as the number of seats needed on stage for doctoral graduates.
- Providing input criteria for a graduate slideshow, for example, running a slideshow for graduates who are not in attendance.
When using stage passes, we highly recommend utilizing Graduate Check-In to ensure graduates have their graduate passes printed, downloaded onto their mobile devices or loaded into their apple/google wallet. If the Check-In staff notices any issues, students should be referred to the Help Desk to collect a backup label or blank card.

We provide two methods for checking-in graduates: using the Director software or the Ticket Scan App. Each method has its own advantages. To learn more, click the links to below.
