Oh no, UNC ditched any sort of even token nod at the PhD candidates during the big ceremony three years ago. They used to have the PhDs file through, and the name and title were announced, you got your 'diploma', and then offstage you went. Dept by dept. They decided this was just an annoyance to everyone else and ditched it.
So the Graduate School now has their own *very* formal ceremony, and each dept has a small informal one as well.
Ah. When I got my BA many years ago, the PhD candidates went first, and got their names mentioned, then the MA candidates, and their names, then 2 hours of nameless black-robed undergrads :). Frankly, I'd rather your school's set up :).
