Live Commencement
Sitka will host a live commencement ceremony this year. We will be reading names of students
in attendance who completed in Summer 2022, Fall 2022, and candidates for Spring 2023.

If you plan on walking please register yourself and your guests for the event at Eventbrite.

The live ceremony will be May 5, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. at Centennial Hall. Graduates arrive by 6:00
for instructions and Graduation line up.

There will be a reception following the ceremony.

Participating in commencement does not guarantee completion of your degree. All degree
requirements must be met in order to receive your degree. Please work with the registrar's
office for degree completion.
