• Since students will be invited to the stage with respect to a list of names, we urge you to pay attention to the presenter, and be seated only at your assigned seats. This is to aid us with the progression of the ceremony, and with the presentation of your diplomas.
• A professional team will be photographing and videotaping the event. The ceremony will be live-streamed on the official YouTube account of the Atılım University Alumni Association.
• We urge our guests to remain at their assigned seats and designated areas rather than approaching the stage even to take photos or videos, to ensure the smooth progression of the ceremony.  
• Since the District Directorate of Health is required to verify the diplomas of the students from the School of Health Sciences and the Vocational School of Healthcare Services (the process may take 20 to 30 days), graduates of these schools will only be receiving a Certificate of Achievement, to receive their actual diplomas at a later date.
