Graduating from PCC
Each year PCC offers students a full cap and gown graduation ceremony. We encourage you to attend this event to celebrate your accomplishments with your friends, family, faculty and peers!
If you are graduating in the current academic year (fall, winter, spring or summer term), and have successfully completed all of the graduation requirements, you are eligible to participate in the PCC graduation ceremony. When filling out the graduation petition, please indicate whether you would like to participate. Graduation information will be emailed through MyPCC email accounts to students who have submitted their application by the annual college deadline for petition submission.
Be sure to sign your petition and then bring or mail the completed petition for high school to your campus contact.
