Instructions for Graduation Announcement Forms

Commencement Magazine form (for New England Law alumni magazine)

Graduation Announcement form (for newspaper notifications)

Please follow these directions carefully when filling out both forms.

• Please fill out all sections completely.
• Make sure all information is entered correctly, with full names of judges or officials (first and last) and institutions or organizations for which you have worked.
• Please do not use abbreviations, which may not be familiar to the person compiling the press announcements; full names are needed for press releases.

The following instructions are specific to the Graduation Announcement form for newspapers.

• Make sure you provide the e-mail address that the publications use for this type of announcements.  Do not give websites.
• Be certain that the contact information you provide is not for the department for ads and paid announcements.  The school will not pay fees for publication.
• The Boston Globe and other large metropolitan newspapers do not generally publish these announcements, but the Boston Globe's regional editions do, so make sure you use the e-mail address of the local edition that covers your area.
