Audience: Graduation participants
Hello,
Our week-long graduation celebration is less than two weeks away! From April 28 to May 1, join us for GradFest at your college. GradFest is where you will:
- Pick up your cap, gown, and tickets (if you are participating in the in-person commencement ceremony),
- Get your graduation photos taken by a professional, and
- Take part in other exciting events on campus.
Click here or on the button above to check out your college’s GradFest schedule. You can also check out our district-wide events, including Lavender Graduation and the Virtual Career Fair.
Graduates participating in the in-person ceremony will each receive seven (7) tickets for their guests and one ticket for themselves. If you are unable to pick up your cap, gown, and tickets during the designated windows, you must contact your college’s registrar to make an alternative plan.
