Graduation can be really hectic, and there are a lot of things that need to get done, but which are easy to forget. Here's a timeline and checklist to get through it.
Well ahead of time:
- Schedule a meeting with the EC and interested club members to discuss which class members should graduate. You should prepare for the meeting by dividing the class into "almost certainly graduating", "almost certainly not graduating", and "needs discussion", and may want to tell likely meeting attendees who is on the "needs discussion" list in advance so they can keep an eye out.
- Find someone to choreograph and lead the Grand March
- Take Badge Orders from the club and graduating class (err on the side of getting badges for anyone who might graduate) (see Club badges)
- Get the class started thinking about class hack tips - you'll probably want to mention some hack tips that have been done in the past and worked well (see Big List Of Hack Tips for ideas) Also, don't forget to explain that they're optional and don't affect who graduates and mention the no-hazing policy.
