Graduation at Big 3

[crshore]

Does anyone know what the graduation ceremonies are like at each of the big 3?

I just went to my graduation ceremony at COSC a couple of weeks ago. The ceremony lasted about two hours. It's almost exactly the same as a graduation from a B&M school, except there are more references to adult learners/distance learning during the speeches.

They have a photographer that takes your picture as you walk across the stage and get your diploma, and you can order the print a few days after the ceremony.

At my ceremony, there were very few mispronunciations of names because you hand the reader a card with your name on it, and if it's difficult, you write the name out phonetically.

Afterward, the college set out tents with snacks and drinks. It was nice to have a chance to see staff, faculty members, and fellow students in person. I had a great time before and after the ceremony chatting with and bonding with the other graduates.

Aside from the graduation fee, I believe the cost of the cap and gown was about $25.00, and you get to keep it afterward.

I'm so glad I went to the graduation. It was such an amazing feeling. I'm still enjoying the "high" from it!
