Name Pronunciation Information
- All name pronunciations are pre-recorded by a professional vocalist who works nationally for not only graduations but also award ceremonies.
- All names are researched for pronunciation accuracy. However, if you have a name that contains silent letters, unique cultural pronunciations, or similar instances, we encourage you to submit a name pronunciation immediately through Friday, April 17 via the GradPak Portal.
- You will have an opportunity to review the pronunciation of your name via our GradPak Portal from Friday, April 2, 12pm Central Time to Friday, April 17, Midnight Central Time (12am).
- For a written guide on how to write name pronunciations: Phonetic Spelling Instructions. In the GradPak Portal you will be provided the opportunity to write the phonetic pronunciation as well as an audio recording pronunciation. You will need to submit both form sections before submitting the form.
- If you do not submit a name pronunciation, your name will be pre-recorded according to how it is was written in the your submission of the graduation application. This includes if a pronunciation is submitted for a first name but not for a last name (or vice versa), the name will be recorded using the submitted name pronunciation along with the researched pronunciation for the remaining name listed on your pass.
