Watch Commencement Online
Southwestern University is proud to present our 2013 Commencement Convocation live online. To ensure you are able to view the event on May 11, please follow these instructions.
Register for your CollegeTVTicket account
You must create a CollegeTVTicket account in order to view the 2013 Shilling Lecture. Registration and viewing are free for this event.
Install Silverlight
CollegeTVTicket uses the increased definition video player from Microsoft, powered by Silverlight, which renders a sharper picture and is natively compatible with Safari and Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. It is designed to work with all newer generation Macs. Newer Macs using Safari will automatically use the native Quicktime player which makes installation of Silverlight unnecessary. Better safe than sorry, though: click here to install and confirm you have the most up-to-date version of Silverlight and you should be good to go.
Testing your video
Before the event starts, please click on the Demo link to make sure your player is installed and set up correctly. If you are using an older Mac and it is not compatible with "Microsoft Silverlight" or is unable to play the Apple HLS video in Safari, you will not be able to watch the video on your computer. Safari on newer Macs should automatically play with no download or installation.
