This unique experience is planned to provide each graduate with the recognition they rightfully deserve. Students who desire an in-person graduation ceremony are invited to participate in the 2021 graduation ceremony, planned for May 13, 2021, and be recognized as a 2020 graduate. The Registrar’s Office will communicate additional details with 2020 graduates closer to time.

Once spring and/or summer grades are verified, the Registrar’s Office will mail an official transcript and diploma to each graduate at no cost to students. The College appreciates students’ patience and understanding as it celebrates this tremendous achievement during this challenging time. Students with graduation questions should email graduation@sampsoncc.edu.
