I cannot order my cap and gown.  It states to contact Debra Kaszuba.

When entering your BenU ID number, do not use the "B".  In addition, if your account has a financial hold you are unable to order your cap and gown.  Once you pay off your account, please have Student Accounts Receivable (sar@ben.edu) contact the Assistant to the Associate Provost and the Office of the Registrar to advise them to release your cap & gown order and diploma.

• If you are an International Student please contact your Program Coordinator. 
• If you are a Mesa Campus Student, Myra Carlos (mcarlos@ben.edu) is your contact for ordering a cap and gown.

On the Create Your Graduation Slide for Virtual Commencement website I created an account and attempted to register. The link to register looks like it’s not active. Just wondering if there is something else I need to do or if it’s not available yet?

Please make sure that you are using Chrome, Firefox or Safari.  Kindly be sure that you are giving the form enough time to load, if you have a slow connection.

Who or where do I submit the phonetic spelling of my name, picture and personal message?

All items are to be submitted directly to the Create Your Graduation Slide for Virtual Commencement website. 

The phonetic spelling of your name was due last Friday, September 25, 1:00 p.m. Central Time; the option to provide phonetics of an alternative name are unavailable. 

You have until October 4 to provide a picture and personal message.
