Announcements
Your personalized announcement is a formally worded message
to announce your graduation. There is no limit to the number
of announcements that a prospective graduate may choose to
send. However, the University asks that actual attendance
at the ceremonies be limited to no more than six (6) guests
per undergraduate. Prospective undergraduates should have
confirmed reservations for specific ceremony dates and times
before inviting guests to attend. Receiving an announcement
does not obligate giving a gift.
Mailing
Mail your graduation announcements six weeks prior to the
date of the ceremony.
Envelopes
Traditional announcements provide two envelopes. The larger
envelope, with the gummed flap, is the outside envelope. It
should be addressed from you personally using a minimum of
abbreviations. If you wish, the return address may be written
on the back. The smaller envelope, without the gummed flap,
is designed to hold your announcement. The text of the announcement
should face the flap. Do not seal or tuck in the flap. This
envelope should be addressed in a more personalized manner,
using terms of familiarity. The enclosure envelope flap should
face toward the address side of the outer envelope.
Thank You Notes
A short personal message on a thank you note is the gracious
way to acknowledge any graduation gift. Several styles are
available at the UCSB Bookstore.
