The RSVP and Guest Ticket Request form will close on October 30th at 6:00 p.m. Please visit the Preparing for Graduation portion of our website to ensure that you have completed all of the steps necessary for a successful ceremony.
Note: you will require an active ROSI pin number to access the online RSVP.
