Live Ceremony Operations
Run commencement ceremonies that bring a streamlined, professional experience to students and staff alike. Each and every aspect of Tassel Turner is designed with the always-changing realities of running commencements taken into practical consideration and supported by a suite of robust administrative tools.
The Tassel Turner platform works for all types of ceremonies. Use a wide rang of flexible seating and roll call features allowing you to stage events exactly as you need, whether it’s a multi-line stage-crossing, or a strict queue based on academic groupings. You’ll have no trouble keeping things moving with a clear, concise stream of graduate names read confidently by your speakers or automatically streamed from pre-recorded voice-audio.
Provide a top-class ceremony experience for students, their family, and friends to remember.
Organize Students
Group lines of students in roll calls based on your own logistics for how the group will be called to the stage, then print roll call lists for ceremony marshals and export multimedia graduate data for staff technicians.
Integrated dynamic scanning
Marshals can scan student name cards and badges to automatically trigger or enqueue audiovisual displays and other actions with your internal systems while students line up and cross the stage.
Display Graduate Profiles
Show slides of graduating students in a fully customizable profile format that can highlight their name, department, academic achievements, photograph, bio, and more.
Assign Seats by Queue
Keep lines moving like clockwork by assigning seats to graduates based on the order in which they will be called to cross the stage and have their name read
Live Audience View
Access real-time views of the venue showing the current capacity and, for assigned seating, detailed occupancy stats and a searchable locator for ticket holders.
Ceremony Stage Analytics
Easily export ceremony stats for reconciliation and reporting, or directly connect to the platform API and view the ceremony progress on a live admin dashboard.
Crossing the stage and hearing a student's name read aloud is the quintessential moment of graduation.
A Powerful Desktop App to Run Ceremonies

Everything required to run a calm and collected ceremony is included in the app so that you don’t need to worry about spotty internet, incomplete datasets, or late arrivals and write-ins.
Security On the Ground
The app doesn’t require any licenses, doesn’t register your users, and doesn’t phone home to trackers - just download the installer and launch it anywhere you want and you’re ready to go. You can further protect ceremony data by encrypting the app’s bundled files and only sharing the password with authorized personnel, preventing any sensitive student information from accidentally leaking on the network or shared workstations.
