PICK UP OF CAPS & GOWNS:
Available starting Tuesday, May 28. For Willimantic students, you must pick-up your cap & gown by Wednesday or it will be returned back to the Danielson bookstore. You will need ID to pick up your gown.
It is best to pick up your cap & gown BEFORE the ceremony and not plan to pick it up on Thursday. Your rain tickets & commemorative invitations will be included with your gown.
RETURNING CAPS & GOWNS: The cap & gown is yours and does not need to be returned.
IN THE EVENT OF RAIN:
the ceremony will be held at Killingly High School, 226 Putnam Pike, Dayville, CT 06241 beginning at 6pm. A decision will be made by noon on May 30 if needed and will be posted on the college homepage, on WINY (AM 1350) & the college street sign. You will need to report to the KHS gym no later than 5pm. The pre-graduation celebration will still take place at 4pm in the KHS cafeteria.
GRADUATION TICKETS:
If the ceremony is held outside in Danielson, there are NO tickets needed for your family & friends to attend. If the ceremony is being held at Killingly High School due to rain, there will be a TWO ticket limit per graduate for entry into the auditorium. Tickets will be provided to you when you pick up your cap & gown the week of graduation. The ceremony will be broadcast to the KHS cafeteria if you have additional guests.
PRE-GRADUATION RECEPTION:
There will be a pre-graduation reception at 4 pm the day of graduation for graduates and their families. Snacks, sweets & drinks will be served. Meet up with members of faculty & staff one last time before you graduate. Also, since you will now be a QVCC alum, hear about the alumni association.
QVCC Alumni Association:
Graduation doesn't have to be the end of what we hope will be a lifelong relationship with Quinebaug Valley Community College. Be part of the alumni association.
