Commencement

Sierra College is pleased to announce the commencement ceremonies for 2008

  • Rocklin Campus – Saturday May 10, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
  • Nevada County Campus – Friday, May 9, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.

GraduatingThe commencement ceremonies are an appropriate conclusion to a successful academic career at Sierra College. The educational success that the award of an Associate degree represents demonstrates considerable sacrifice, hard work and commitment.

The ceremony itself takes place once a year at the end of the Spring semester. All students who complete a degree in either Fall, Spring or Summer of that academic year are eligible to attend. You must have submitted a degree petition to the Admissions & Records Office by the appropriate deadline. Participation in commencement does not guarantee a degree. During March you will receive information about the ceremony and must complete an additional participation form if you wish to attend. The College bookstore will have caps, gowns and tassels available for purchase.

There is not a limit to the number of guests that you can invite to the outdoor ceremony, but if it rains heavily the ceremony will be canceled and not rescheduled (at the Rocklin Campus).
