Ciarla FAQ
Q: How does my graduate get a free 2023 yearbook?
A: Every senior who provides a senior portrait for the 2023 Ciarla Yearbook will receive one complimentary copy of the yearbook.
- Seniors do not need to order a yearbook if they have provided a portrait. The 2023 Ciarla will be distributed in the fall and mailed directly to the graduate at the home address on file on June 1 in the Registrar's office. See the Senior Portraits page for portrait information.
- While the yearbook staff strongly encourages students to utilize Lauren Studios for their senior portrait, students who are unable to do so may submit a high-resolution photo in front of a neutral-colored backdrop. An image taken by a professional photographer is preferred.
-
Any senior submitting a photo not taken by Lauren Studios must send the portrait to ciarla@muhlenberg.edu by May 1 and request their name and address be placed on the mailing list for their complimentary copy of the 2023 Ciarla.
Q: My student is studying abroad. Can I have his/her photo taken elsewhere and send it to Muhlenberg?
A: If your student is unable to use Lauren Studios on campus, they may submit a portrait by email to ciarla@muhlenberg.edu and request their portrait be included in the 2023 Ciarla so they can receive their complimentary copy.
Q: Why isn’t my student’s headshot in the yearbook?
A: The most common reason is that your student likely did not attend any of the photo sessions on campus or submit an alternate photo.
Q: I didn’t know my senior received a complimentary yearbook and I ordered one. Can I return it for a refund?
A: Cancelations must be requested prior to the June 1 deadline. According to Balfour's policy, a fee may be applied to all canceled orders.
Q: How do I order a Senior Pride ad?
A: These ads are a great way to congratulate seniors and wish them luck in their future endeavors. Graduates are also welcome to submit an ad to memorialize their time at Muhlenberg.

Q: What size Senior Pride Ad do most people order?

Q: I missed the deadline for ordering a Senior Pride ad. Will you still accept my order?
A: The Senior Pride Ad submission deadline for the 2023 Ciarla is May 1. Publication of any ad received after the final deadline cannot be guaranteed.
Q: If we do not like the headshot taken in the fall of my student’s senior year, can they have the photo retaken when Lauren Studios is on campus in the spring?
A: Yes. Spring dates will be announced on the Senior Portraits page.
Q: My student graduated last year and did not have their headshot taken for the yearbook. Can they have a photo taken and placed in this year’s book so we have yearbook proof they went to Muhlenberg?
A: No. The yearbook focuses on the current senior class and undergraduates.
