This link, Honor Cords and Stoles, is available for you to purchase the items for which you qualify. If you are unsure about your status, please check with the staff listed for each cord to see if you should purchase it or not. Please do not purchase an item if you do not meet the criteria. There will be no refunds and the cord will not be given to you if you do not qualify.
All items must be ordered by May 14, 2022.
After purchase, you will be able to pick up the items you ordered from the staff member that oversees that group. The last scheduled day to pick up items is Thursday, May 20, 2022. All items must be picked up before the day of graduation. They will not be available on the day of graduation, so please plan accordingly.
