Are you planning to graduate this spring?   Did you know that you need to apply for graduation? Do you know how? Well let me steer you in the right direction.  Here is a link to the SPC graduation steps!

  • You will need to:
    1.   Prepare to graduate:  Meet with an  Academic Advisor and make sure you have met all the courses you need to graduate. Do a graduation check with advising.
    2.   Apply for graduation:  The deadline to get your name listed in the program is Friday, March 25th. If you do not want your name is the program, follow the above link to see what to do.  If you miss the March 25th deadline you CAN STILL GRADUATE you just won’t have your name included in the printed Commencement Program. The last day to apply for spring 2016 graduation is Friday, May 6th. If you are graduating, don’t wait apply now!
    3.   Attend graduation:   Commencement for spring 2016 is Saturday, May 7th at 9a.m. at Tropicana Field. Graduates are to arrive at 8 am if picking up honor cords and 8:15 am for all other candidates.  There is a cost of $10 to park so think about carpooling.

This is your big day.  Prepare, Apply and Attend. You will be glad that you did.  So how does this fit with Career Services?  Well we are here to help you land that post SPC job.
