Tassel is a service that is used for the graduation ceremony. Once a graduate completes the Graduation Application, they will receive an email to their PERSONAL email address they entered on their graduation application, detailing how to register with Tassel.

**Tassel registration does have a deadline that is noted on the initial email that you receive regarding Tassel. If graduates do not log in and have a "yes" or "no" marked for themselves in Tassel by registering, graduates are assumed that they are NOT attending and a seat will not be reserved for commencement, nor will the graduate be allowed guest tickets. Please email the commencement team if you have any questions.

Do graduates have to complete the Tassel registration? 

Graduates that plan to participate in the ceremony MUST complete the Tassel registration. Registering allows the graduate to submit an accurate pronunciation of their name to be professionally recorded for the ceremony. It also will give the graduate access to some Tassel features, like sending the ceremony details to friends and family.

How to obtain guest tickets?

When registering, graduates will be able to obtain their guest tickets. Graduates will be able to send their guest tickets to their loved ones directly from Tassel. There is also an option to print the tickets for your guests. Tickets can be printed by guests as well, once the graduate has emailed them the ticket. If the graduate does not claim tickets when registering, they can log back in and claim them before the Tassel registration deadline. Graduates are able to claim tickets and send them later. Because this is a ticketed event due to limited seating, all guests over the age of 1 require a ticket to attend. 

Each ticket contains a unique code that will be scanned at the front gates. Each email will only contain 1 unique ticket (example is shown below). If you send yourself the three tickets, you will receive three emails and each ticket contained within will be different. You can tell by the code under the square QR code.  Only the first iteration of the ticket will be successfully scanned. Anyone with a duplicate ticket will be turned away at the door and will not be allowed to enter the building. The graduate does not need a ticket.

What if a graduate does not complete the Tassel registration?

Graduates that do not complete the registration form will NOT have the opportunity to provide their name pronunciation. They will NOT have access to Tassel features either, such as the option to send their ceremony details to friends and family.

What if I don't receive the registration email from Student Records?

Please check your email for registration and login information. If you do not see the email in your inbox from student.records@augustatech.edu, check your Spam folder as well. After you have checked all folders, please contact student.records@augustatech.edu for assistance.

Can I log back into the Tassel website once I log out?

Yes. Students can log in to Tassel as needed, only after you have clicked on the link in the initial email sent by Student Records to create your account. Once your password is created, using the email address provided when you created the password, please click this link: https://augustatech.tassel.com/login

Claiming your Guest tickets

You will see a section where you can claim any guest tickets. Each Graduate can claim a maximum of 9 tickets for their guest. You do not have to claim all 9 tickets if they are not needed.

Click on submit to claim the ticket amount selected.

How do I print or email tickets for my guests?

Enter Guest email addresses

If you would like to send the ticket to your guest directly you can enter their email to send 1 ticket. They will only receive one ticket per email.
