If you were the recipient of a Stafford educational loan while at UWSP, you will be sent an email message that links you to an on-line exit loan counseling presentation. You will be given information about the repayment process and linked to your own personal loan history. You will learn what is expected of you and what options are available to you as you make plans to meet your loan obligation. When you finish viewing the presentation, you will be asked to provide contact information that will be sent to the institution which services your loan. It is a federal requirement that all Stafford loan borrowers go through this exit counseling process. If you were the recipient of a Perkins loan from UW-Stevens Point, you will be contacted by the Perkins Loan Office to set up your loan repayment schedule. |
Graduation Day: What to do, what to expect
Candidates for graduation should report to the indoor track area of
the Health Enhancement Center (HEC) at least one hour prior to the
ceremony in which they will be participating. When you arrive at the
HEC, please complete a name card (you will carry this with you into
the ceremony). After you have completed your card, find your place
in the graduate line. Graduates line up by college and degree in
alphabetical order. Signs will be posted to help you find your
place.
A
student marshal will lead you from the indoor track area to the
Specht Forum about fifteen minutes before the ceremony begins. After
our keynote speaker and student speaker have completed their
presentations, the dean of your college will ask graduates in your
college to stand. The chancellor will make a conferral statement.
You will then be seated until you are released by row to take the
stage and receive your diploma cover.
After
receiving your diploma cover, please return to your seat.
