At Graduation, your full legal name will appear on your award certificate.?When the presenter reads your name for you to cross the stage at your ceremony, you have the choice of being called by either your 'Given Names and Surname' or your 'Preferred Given Name and Surname'.
Please provide a phonetic pronunciation for the name and surname that you would like to be read at your in-person graduation ceremony. If you have selected that your Legal Given Names be read at your ceremony, pronunciation for Legal Given Names and Surname should be provided. If you have selected that your Preferred Given Name be read at your ceremony, pronunciation for Preferred Given Name and Surname should be provided.
Phonetic pronunciation of your given names and surname is saying them as they sound, not as they are written.

- Ravish Shekaraiah?? =?? Raveesh Shek-ra-ja
When you log into the GFP portal to order your regalia and redeem your tickets, you will also be provided with the option to record the correct pronunciation of your full name, creating a sounds file for the presenter to listen to.?Please note that there is a 10-second time limit.
