Commencement Ceremony

The 2025 commencement ceremony will be held on May 16, 2025 at 4 p.m. in the JJC Event Center on the Main Campus. A live stream will also be available on our YouTube channel.

The ceremony will honor Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 graduates, as well as prospective Spring 2025 and Summer 2025 graduates.

Graduates are expected to stay for the entire ceremony. The ceremony typically lasts around two hours.

The number of guest tickets per graduate will be announced closer to the ceremony date, as it will depend on the total number of participating graduates.

Diploma covers are handed to students when they cross the stage. A final evaluation has to be completed. If all your academic requirements have been met, you will be mailed your diploma or certificate six to eight weeks after the semester ends.
