At Graduation, your full legal name will appear on your award certificate. Your given names and surname will be read out phonetically at your ceremony. Phonetic pronunciation of your given names and surname is saying them as they sound, not as they are written.
When you complete your ceremony registration via GFP Portal, you will be asked to provide a phonetic pronunciation for your name. For example:
- David Baranowski = David Ba-ra-nof-ski)
- Hooi Peng Soon = Hoo-ee P-eng S-oon
- Sanathanee Sachchithananthan = Sana-tha-nee Sach-chi-tha-nan-than
- Rebecca Malkkah Lachovitzki = Rebecca Mul-ka Lah-koh-vitz-kee
- Ravish Shekaraiah = Raveesh Shek-ra-ja
Providing phonetic pronunciation for your name is an important step - it guides the presenter to read your name correctly, as they may not know you.
