You must give the full names and email addresses of guests when you register.
The invitation is valid for two guests per graduate. This is due to the limited number of seats in the Palais du Pharo

If you would like additional seats for your companions, please contact the graduates who will not be using their quota of 2 seats per graduate. You can then collect their QR code and present them on the day of the ceremony.
For your information, QR codes are linked to a graduate; if the graduate doesn't show up, the QR codes linked to him or her won't work.
