🎓REGISTER NOW FOR YOUR GRADUATION!

Your Graduation Ceremony is coming up on December 18th at 4:00 PM in the IE Tower Auditorium!

🌐 The Graduation Website is now live with all the key details about your ceremony, including schedules, venue information, and FAQs.

Be sure to register yourself and up to three guests by October 30th (23:55h). You will be able to edit the names of already registered guests until December 4th (23:55h), but any guests not registered by October 30th cannot be added or edited afterward.

💡 Reminders:

• If you don't yet know your guests' names, register them as "Guest X". You can edit these later only if they were registered before the deadline.
• If you're looking for extra tickets, check with classmates who might not be using all of theirs. They can simply add your guest's information to their registration form.
• 🚫 Selling tickets is strictly prohibited. If anyone offers to sell a guest ticket, please report it to imbagraduation@ie.edu.
• 📸 You'll be asked to upload a professional, high-quality photo of yourself. This image will be displayed on the ceremony screens, so make it count!

If you have any questions, please contact imbagraduation@ie.edu.
