Class of 2020 Commencement
TAMIU's first-ever 2020 Virtual Commencement Ceremony will be produced by MarchingOrder, a company that specializes in online celebrations. The Ceremony will include video messages from University leaders specifically for the Class of 2020, as well as a reading of graduates’ names. You will have an opportunity to include your photo and a personalized message of thanks to your family and faculty as part of the Ceremony. Your individually designed slides will also be available to share on social media.
Preparing for the Virtual Commencement Ceremony
Below are important instructions to ensure your name, photo and message are included for recognition in the virtual ceremony:
Registration
Register on the MarchingOrder website. You will need to login with your TAMIU student email.
- The MarchingOrder website will take you through the submission process step-by-step.

- You may return to the site anytime by going to the login page and using your TAMIU student email.
Deadlines
Deadlines for submission are as follows. Unfortunately, these deadlines will not be extended:
Deadline to record your name.
As the professional announcer is not from our area, do not assume they are familiar with the correct pronunciation for your name-- even if you consider it to be obvious. Recording your name allows the announcer to hear its correct pronounciation.
Deadline to submit your photo in regalia or business attire and a personal message for your individual slide.
