Check your mail
The Class of 2020 will receive a special alumni gift in the mail to celebrate their achievements, and they can expect to receive their diploma 6-8 weeks after finals week concludes. Deliveries may take longer due to postal service delays. Both items will be mailed to the address provided on your graduation application. If you need to update your mailing address, please email pac-graduation@alamo.edu before June 15.
Cross the stage
Graduation is a huge academic accomplishment, which is traditionally celebrated by crossing a stage. Though we cannot gather together this spring, Palo Alto College will host a traditional commencement ceremony during the Fall 2020 semester when we can gather together and celebrate safely. Details will be announced in the coming months.
Any questions related to graduation or the traditional commencement ceremony can be sent to pac-graduation@alamo.edu.
