2. Pick up cap and gown 

Caps and gowns will be available for pick-up only at no cost from the SFCC Bookstore at normal operation hours from May 28 – June 7. Reservations for caps and gowns are not required. Students may have a family member or friend pick up for them.

3. Attending the Ceremony

There are no tickets to the event. Admission for students and all guests is free. Seating is based on a first come first served basis. Students must arrive by 6 p.m. wearing their cap and gown.

Bring only what you can carry throughout the ceremony. There is no place to leave personal belongings during the ceremony. Graduates are required to participate in the entire ceremony.
