Tips for Commencement Volunteers

Thank You for Your Interest in Volunteering!

We appreciate your willingness to support our graduates! Please review the information below for helpful tips on using SignUpGenius to view, manage, or update your volunteer shifts.


Viewing Available Shifts

  • Visit the  SignUpGenius link to view open roles.
  • If a role or shift does not appear as available, it has already been filled.
  • To make a change, you may contact another volunteer through SignUpGenius to request a shift swap.

It’s Not Too Late to Sign Up!

If you’ve already signed up but don’t yet have a SignUpGenius account—or if you need to access your shifts—please follow the steps below:

  1. Visit www.SignUpGenius.com
  2. Click " Log In" in the upper-right corner, then select " Create Account"
  3. Register using the same email address you used to sign up for your shift. Employees are encouraged to use their csueastbay.edu email.

Once you submit your information, you’ll receive a verification email from SignUpGenius. After verifying your email, all associated shifts will appear in your account and can be edited as needed.

Managing Your Shifts

  • Navigate to the "Invited To" tab to view your sign-ups
  • Use the pencil icon to edit a shift
  • Use the X icon to cancel a shift
  • Use the calendar icon to view other open shifts for the same sign-up

Email Notifications

If you sign up for multiple shifts, you may receive multiple email notifications from SignUpGenius. We appreciate your patience.
