2010 Graduation Information:

Make sure to apply before the deadline of March 5, 2010 or you won’t be eligible until summer 2010.

Jefferson currently only hosts one graduation ceremony for an academic year. Students that graduate in the summer 2009, fall 2009, spring 2010 or summer 2010 may walk in the ceremony. Your credential will not be given to you on the night of the ceremony so it is not required to be present. During the spring 2010 semester you will receive information in the mail about how to get your cap & gown and the details of the ceremony. We encourage you to participate in the ceremony as it is a wonderful celebration of your accomplishments.
