The height of the academic year is nearly here.
Schoolcraft College will celebrate its 61st Annual Commencement at 1 p.m. May 9 at the TrinityElite Sports Center on the Livonia campus. This ceremony is a time to honor and recognize those candidates and graduates who will receive degrees from the College.
“Our graduates reflect the very best of our community: students of all ages balancing work, family and education while pursuing their goals,” said Dr. Glenn Cerny, president of Schoolcraft College. “We’re looking forward to celebrating not only their academic achievements, but their resilience and purpose that propelled them to complete their academic program.”
Doors open at noon for Commencement, where hundreds of candidates and graduates will walk and receive recognition for their achievements during the annual ceremony. To best prepare, students who have met graduation requirements or are expected to meet their graduation requirements soon can apply for graduation through the College’s online portal, Ocelot Access. Those students who are unsure of whether they qualify to walk at Commencement can speak to an academic advisor.
The last day for students to apply for graduation and have their name in the commemorative Commencement booklet is April 29. Students can still apply for graduation after that date, but their names will not be included in the booklet.
Those eligible to walk at Commencement can attend the College’s Grad Fair at the Campus Bookstore this spring to order and pick up caps and gowns. The Grad Fair will take place at the following times:
- 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 22
- Noon to 6 p.m. April 23
Those who walk will receive four tickets for family and friends to attend. The ceremony will also be livestreamed on the College’s YouTube channel. Prior to the ceremony, photo opportunities with Ozzy, the College’s ocelot mascot, will be available, as well as other activities to celebrate the day.
