Review Graduate Cards

What exactly happens in the proof review step frequently confuses customers, and we're constantly working on the best way to explain it.

These printable PDF files are prepared using the graduate data in your Hub at the processing deadline. The preferences you approved during pre-production are used.

There is a limited window to make changes before your delivery date is affected, so please review the following steps carefully.

Things We Can Change:

  • If graduate data (present on the Hub by your Tassel Data Deadline) is missing/wrong.

  • If card fields or formatting do not match your previously-approved samples


In other words, we will update your print PDFs immediately if we made a processing error.

Things We Cannot Change*:

  • Data Changes (e.g. Name Changes, Program/Degree/Major Titles, etc. that were not in the Hub data at the processing deadline)

  • Card Field & Formatting Changes (changes to layout that were not previously specified)

  • Late Additions (e.g. adding new graduates)

  • Sort Order

* These items are included in the review tasks required before the processing deadline. They are locked in once production begins. If time and resources allow, we can rush reprocess your card files for an additional fee.

Reprocessing requires stopping all work on your software and other deliverables, which can affect delivery; therefore, we try to avoid it whenever possible.

If you absolutely need a change we do not usually accommodate, it would also require a rerun fee of up to $500.-

Recommended option:

Keep a running list of late adds (meaning graduates who were not included before the deadline) and any modifications. You will be able to add/modify them directly in Tassel Director using the blank cards we provide. During the ceremony, your backup reader will recognize these blank cards and read those names accordingly.

PRINTABLE PDF FILES

Once your card proofs are ready, you will receive a link with PDF files, which are in "print order" to avoid manual collation after printing.

Review your cards in order of all top left, all top right, all bottom left and then all bottom right, like shown below.
If you are printing your own cards:

Print all pages, cut the stacks, and your cards will be in the desired order starting from the top-left stack, then top-right, then bottom-left, and finally bottom-right.
