You must see a counselor and complete a graduation petition in order to graduate.

After completing the Petition for your Degree/Certificate, students who are eligible to graduate will receive an email invitation to participate in Commencement. The email will be sent from Student Life and Leadership to your my.smccd student email account and will contain information and steps to participate.

If you are eligible for graduation, you will receive an email from the Student Life team to confirm walking in Commencement.

Invite your guests! A calendar event link will be provided for easy sharing.

There is no guest limit since the ceremony is taking place outdoors. Seating will be first come, first served, so encourage your guests to arrive early.

If Commencement is moved indoors, only two guests per graduate may come inside due to space capacity. If the venue changes, everyone will be notified via email one week prior to Commencement.

There will also be a live streaming of the ceremony on the Skyline College website so your loved ones can watch you graduate from anywhere in the world. The link will be provided on the Commencement homepage on May 24.
