Privacy Holds
If you have exercised your right to place a privacy hold on your student record this will prevent us from releasing any information without your written request. This hold will prevent your name from appearing in the commencement bulletin which is distributed at all of the graduation ceremonies. If you would like your name to appear in the bulletin then you must either log on to your Student Center in myZou and select Privacy Settings from the dropdown menu in Personal Information or supply us with written permission (include full name and 8-digit student ID number) no later than October 24th. E-mails cannot be accepted as a form of permission since we need your signature. This should be delivered to 79 Jesse Hall or faxed to (573) 884-4997. If you have removed the Privacy Hold from your student account yourself or have any questions, please send an e-mail notifying the Registrar’s Office to: commencement@missouri.edu.
Graduation Photographs
Chappell Graduation Images will be providing a candid photography service at your commencement. Each graduate will have his/her picture taken at the moment they receive their commemorative diploma cover. A full color proof can then be viewed at the following website: http://www.gradimages.com. There is no obligation to purchase these pictures, and since all graduates receiving diploma coverss will be photographed, there is no need to contact Chappell Graduation Images prior to graduation. You will receive proofs approximately 1 week after graduation.
