Graduation | Commencement 2022

Instructions for 2022 PC Commencement

The 2022 Commencement Ceremony will be held on the south lawn behind the Pirate Union Building at 2 p.m. on June 18, covid-protocols permitting. The event will also be live streamed. Grads who have applied (see below) will receive email instructions on ordering their caps and gowns, and how to pick up their 4 tickets. Be advised, should the pandemic numbers change, the event, including the number of tickets grads will receive, may change. Also, please know that we understand some of our grads have large families, so we typically allow additional guests to enter the venue after all ticketed guests are seated to fill additional seats or watch from the lawn or area around the fountains, again, covid-protocols permitting.

Student speaker: If you are interested in being considered for the role of graduation student speaker, please fill out the form below and email it to Rick Ross at rross@pencol.edu by May 25.

Graduation at Peninsula College is a three-step process consisting of:

Submitting an Degree/Graduation Application form.
Completing all academic requirements for your degree.
Settling all financial obligations.

If you have not filled out the Degree/Graduation Application, please do so immediately or contact your student advisor with any questions.

Individuals should apply for graduation one quarter in advance of the quarter they anticipate graduating if possible, but Peninsula College will make every effort to accommodate you should you decide later in your journey to participate in Commencement. The Degree/Graduation Application, with any approved substitutions signed by a program advisor, should be submitted online or returned to Student Services as soon as possible in the quarter. Student Services will perform a final review authorizing graduation or pointing out any deficiencies that must be overcome.
