To celebrate our Spring 2021 graduates, St. Petersburg College will host two separate events at the end of the semester: Virtual Commencement and in-person "grad walks" at different college locations.

Eligible graduates will receive registration instructions for these events via their SPC email, starting March 1.

Virtual Commencement: Saturday, May 8

To honor the achievements and ensure the safety of our Spring 2021 graduates, their families and friends, SPC will host a virtual commencement in place of a traditional in-person ceremony. This event will include remarks from SPC President Dr. Tonjua Williams and student speakers, followed by the formal conferral of degrees.

To be recognized and have your name announced during this online ceremony, you must register by the published deadline. There are no exceptions to this deadline. 

Virtual Commencement registration opens Monday, March 1, and closes Friday, April 2.

SPC Grad Walk: Monday, May 10 – Thursday, May 13

Graduation is a time for students to shine and make lifelong memories commemorating their accomplishments. Understanding the significance of an in-person graduation event, SPC has planned a series of “grad walks” at several college locations May 10 through May 13. Don your cap and gown and have your formal graduation photo taken with college leadership!

Each graduate must register for a specific location, date and time. Up to four guests per graduate may attend. Masks are required, and all social distancing protocols will be adhered to.

SPC Grad Walk registration opens Monday, April 5, and closes Friday, May 7.
