Bringing the Ceremony to You

• We will bring CCA to you through a commemorative commencement ceremony watch party on Monday, May 10, 2021 at 11am PDT. The video will feature many of the remarks that you would traditionally experience at CCA's commencement ceremony. (The video will remain available online for your viewing convenience.)

Graduation vs. Commencement

A student graduates upon completion of all academic requirements as recorded on an official transcript. The diploma marks recognition of the degree the student has earned.

Note: Only eligible graduating students have the opportunity to participate in commencement.

Graduation Fee

The graduation fee is $100. This is a one-time fee that applies whether or not you choose to attend the commencement ceremony. The fee covers the administrative process of your graduation form and the printing and certified mailing of your diploma.

Note: We have waived the Graduation Fee for this year, as we did last year. Students who graduated in Summer or Fall 2020 or will graduate in Spring or Summer 2021 will have their $100 graduation fee credited or refunded

Please read the full email. (sent March 17, 2021)

The Commencement Student Advisory Group represents the graduating class at Commencement Planning Committee (CPC) meetings to offer insight and provide feedback in planning this year's commencement experience in the wake of the pandemic.
