Name is Listed in the Commencement Program |

The University of Washington Tacoma publishes a program to accompany the Commencement ceremony each spring. The program lists the names, degrees and honors recognition of graduates for the academic year. Students who do not wish to be listed in the Commencement program can submit a request to remove their name via the Commencement Listing & Name Form. Students who wishes to indicate special characters such as accents, capitalization & suffixes or indicate a change to your name’s appearance can also submit their request via Commencement Listing & Name Form. Unless indicated otherwise by submission of this form, we will use your name of record in your MyUW (as noted on your transcript). |
