Commencement Photo Submission Information

Students who are unable to attend the Alumni House or Quad Cities campus event may submit a photograph to be included in a slideshow at the end of the online ceremony. Official WIU caps and gowns are strongly encouraged, but business casual or WIU attire is also acceptable. Photos should be landscape orientation (horizontal), 4x6 inches, 300 dpi. Vertical photos will have to be cropped. A standard iPhone selfie is also sufficient. Photos must include only the graduate. (WIU reserves the right to refuse any inappropriate photo submissions.)

All photos must be submitted by April 18 - late submissions will not be included in the online ceremony. Please save your photo file as your first and last name before sending and include your WIU ID number in your email. By submitting your commencement photo to Grad-Office@wiu.edu, you are agreeing to post your submitted information publicly to the website(s). Should you have any privacy concerns, please email Grad-Office@wiu.edu.
