Graduation
Champlain’s 2021 graduation ceremony will be held in person on
June 11, 2021 from 1 to 4 pm.
The format of the ceremony will be a little bit different this year, out of respect for Public Guidelines. We will be hosting a COVID friendly ceremony, giving graduates one last chance to walk through the Champlain building. The event will be live-streamed on Facebook so parents and friends can watch from afar. The livestream of the ceremony will be accessible from Champlain’s Facebook event at https://fb.me/e/1wtocWlpu.
Champlain Grad 2021 – A graduation to remember!
What are the current plans for Champlain's 2021 Graduation?
We plan to hold Champlain’s graduation ceremony in person. It will be a walk-through event on the first floor of the Champlain building, ending in the front lobby where graduates will receive your certificate.
Where can we watch the livestream of the ceremony?
Will families and guests be able to attend the ceremony in person?
Students are allowed to bring 2 guests. These guests are asked to wait in their cars in the Sports Complex parking lot, until it is their graduate’s turn to parade through. At that time they are allowed to come and wait in our front parking and accompany their graduate back to the Sports Complex parking.
Please note that guests and parents will not be allowed in the Champlain building as the event is strictly for students. However, the ceremony will be live-streamed on Facebook for family and friends to follow along.
Can families take pictures on campus?
Yes! Two photo booths will be set up for candid graduation photos in parking P1.
Is Champlain providing a live stream of the ceremony?
Yes! The ceremony will be live-streamed on Facebook. We invite you to like the Champlain College Facebook page so you don’t miss the event.
