Need-to-know information for graduates of 2013

Are you not sure how to register to graduate? I’ve got the scoop and a couple tips from an inside source. As diverse as your degree or certificate can be, it’s all the same process.

To get started, walk to Enrollment services in the Parks Student Union building to pick up a “Diploma/Certificate” application, which you will need to fill out

Graduating students can participate in the 7th annual EvCC commencement ceremony being held on Friday, June 14, 2013 at 7 p.m. in the Everett Community College Fitness Center. You must RSVP before or on April 5, 2013 through Student Activities.

There is only one ceremony for any quarter you graduate through the year. You can purchase a cap and gown from the bookstore and tickets. The last step is to arrive at Whitehorse hall at 6 p.m. with your cap and gown, both of which are your ticket to get in the door.

Jennifer Rhodes, director of Student Activities gave tips for students who will be going through the process. “My request to students would be to one – read the information on the graduation site, two – pay attention to and follow the deadlines and three – make sure that Enrollment Services has your most current address and phone number so that we can contact you about graduation.”
