GradLine Virtual Commencements:
Virtual commencement is an online ceremony that can feature formal remarks, graduate speeches and sharable digital slides to honor each graduate. You send graduates an event URL to view the virtual graduation ceremony before the event day.
The organization will decide if registration is required or not. If registration is required, the organizations can create their own registration system or can use GradLine's built-in registration system and share the URL with students.
No, GradLine is available for universities, colleges and high schools for both registration and virtual graduation celebrations.
The institution will send an email to every participant with a link to the graduation event page and other important resources.
Institutions will decide how long the online commencement link will be available on the web.
Yes, a detailed reporting feature is available for universities and any vendor partners. The report can be generated and exported at any time from the institution’s secure admin login site.
Our event management team will always be there to help you with data processing and ensure that your event runs smoothly.
Institutions can host the virtual graduation event by themselves on their own server, or they can use GradLine's secure virtual platform to host the event.
Institutions can use our unique system to manage registration, virtual commence ceremony, regalia booking, guest ticketing, and more. In addition to this, Institutions can partner with vendors and use our powerful e-commerce module. Prospective graduates then have a one-stop shop to register, sign up for photography, order their cap and gown, and purchase memorabilia and souvenirs.

GradLine Event Technology:
All RFID systems transmit digital data between a reader and transponder via radio waves. PDC is focused on passive RFID systems in which an inlay – a combination of microchip and antenna – receives and transmits data only when coupled with a reader and antenna, typically at a range of 5 inches or less. The reader is controlled by a host computer or on-board microprocessor and determines the appropriate read or write operation.Active RFID systems use transponders with an on-board battery to boost the effective operating range of the tag, and are often used for real-time location systems or environmental sensing and storage. This added functionality comes at a significant cost vs. typical passive systems.
Barcodes application at events is limited as they only have the ability to read information. RFID technology has a much wider and secure application as it has the ability to read, write and modify the information stored on your customers RFID tag. Additional advantages of RFID include better read range and being far more difficult to replicate.
They’re just regular wristbands with tiny RFID tokens embedded into them. You distribute them to event-goers either before or at the start of an event. During the event, these wristbands serve as a replacement for paper tickets, wallets and more.
The main advantage RFID systems have over tickets with barcodes printed on them is in the scanning range and flexibility, as well as additional functionality that can be tied into the token – cashless payments, social media, etc. Additionally, the ability to ‘wear’ the RFID token in a form of a wristband means less hassle for attendees’ and decreased risk of lost tickets or theft.
That’s understandable – you’ve been doing paper ticketing for ages, why switch to some newfangled technology? However, there are a few really great reasons to consider setting up an RFID system at your events. For example, you can:Speed up entry and reduce queuing times, which creates a better experience for your attendeesGo cashless, which tends to encourage patrons to spend more (up to 30%!)Create new types of social activations, which can help you score larger sponsorship deals
RFID tags are durable, small and thin enough to be attached or embedded into products. This means that they are much less vulnerable to water damage. There are specific tags manufactured to withstand water damage, to differing degrees depending on the intended application. Some washable tags are used in laundry, some water and pressure resistant tags are used in deep sea applications. The important thing is the casing around the aerial and microchip.
RFID tags have a memory chip installed allowing storage of an item’s; location, serial number, manufacturer, photo, use history, a maintenance schedule and much more. The speed of this data capture using an RFID system is less than 5% of the time taken in a manual process.
RFID tags can be used as ‘digital wallets’ that attendees use to pay for food, drinks and merchandise. Attendees simply present their wristband to the vendor, who would then use his Token device or smartphone to charge them for whatever they’re buying. This can be used alongside traditional payment methods or as a means go running completely cashless events.
Most modern smartphones, especially Android models, come with NFC – near-field communications – which allows them to read RFID tags at certain frequencies. However, using a proprietary RFID reader gives you better range and battery life.
1. Customers present their barcoded ticket at the gate.
2. Tickets are scanned before being presented with an activated RFID wristband.
3. Customer information is transferred to the RFID wristband within a matter of seconds and the customer is quickly admitted to the event.
Using access control gives event organizers a simple-yet-powerful way of leveraging RFID technology to run better and smoother events. Some of the unique advantages of this include:
- No paper, no fraud
- Security and Control over multiple zones
- Lightning-fast Entry Times
- Real-time Customer & Capacity Insight
- Seamless integration with your ticketing software
- Elimination of costly human errors
