If you\u2019re graduating in May, the countdown to commencement has begun. So are you ready for graduation? We know from experience that you\u2019ve already got a lot on your plate this time of year. You&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/10-questions-before-accepting-first-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">applying for jobs<\/a> (or to grad schools), reaching out to all your networking contacts, and doing your best to stave off senioritis. Unfortunately, the stress of this final semester of your college career only intensifies as graduation weekend closes in.<\/p><p>Do yourself a favor and prepare well in advance for commencement. Make a week-by-week calendar and mark out important dates leading up to graduation. In addition to everything you&#8217;ll need to complete academically at your institution, don&#8217;t forget about pinning down dates for graduation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/lets-throw-a-graduation-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parties<\/a>, and putting together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomaframe.com\/graduation-gifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grad gift ideas<\/a> and to-do lists for friends and family.<\/p><p>Doing as much as you can ahead of time will ensure a smooth and stress-free graduation week. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be setting yourself up for a very last-minute race to get everything accomplished the first two weeks of May. Plus, before you even get to the graduation ceremony, you&#8217;ll have to focus your energies on your final exams. After all, you need to keep your grades up if you want to maintain a robust GPA for your resume. With all of those factors in mind, we&#8217;ve mapped out the ultimate guide for preparing for graduation.<\/p><h2>Apply for graduation<\/h2><p>If you don&#8217;t complete your online graduation application, you cannot participate in the commencement ceremony; it&#8217;s that simple. Seems a little obvious, but there\u2019s a reason colleges send out the reminder email at least three times during the school year. If you forget this step, nothing else matters.<\/p><h2>Attend your school\u2019s grad fair<\/h2><p>By attending your college or university&#8217;s graduation fair, you will check off so many boxes on your to-do list. First and foremost, you will need to order your graduation cap and gown, so attending grad fair is definitely a must. Other regalia elements may include cords, honors medallions, and custom stoles, so you should find out which ones you&#8217;re eligible to wear from commencement department reps in attendance. Many fairs are held at the campus bookstore where they may offer graduation bundles that include cap and gown plus diploma frame, graduation announcements, and alumni swag. These bundles are a great way to get all your grad essentials and save money on them.<\/p><h2>Order graduation announcements<\/h2><p>And address them. And send them out. Undoubtedly, your incredibly proud parents will help get the word out. Don&#8217;t rely on them to remember every family member and close friend. It\u2019s a big deal that you\u2019re graduating college; let everyone celebrate with you by sending out custom graduation announcements.<\/p><h2>Order your class ring<\/h2><p>It\u2019s the one piece of school memorabilia that\u2019s acceptable to display in every situation. Class rings are a strong tradition in universities; an immediate bond is formed when you see a total stranger wearing your school\u2019s ring. Don\u2019t miss out on this display of your alumni pride.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d0731a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d0731a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6dc023\" data-id=\"c6dc023\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-956fa53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"956fa53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sienna-college-frame-1024x719.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18793\" alt=\"student holding siena college diploma frame\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sienna-college-frame-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sienna-college-frame-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sienna-college-frame-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sienna-college-frame.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c9179b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c9179b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-10b9036\" data-id=\"10b9036\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf3667d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf3667d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Get your diploma frame<\/h2><p>You worked hard to earn that priceless piece of paper.
