Celebrate Commencement
Perimeter College recognizes graduates on the Clarkston Campus.
COMMENCEMENT COUNTDOWN
Graduation
Graduation is just around the corner. Whether or not you choose to attend a commencement ceremony, you will need to APPLY FOR GRADUATION. Do so in PAWS.
Ceremony
After you apply, if you wish to participate in your ceremony, you will need to REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE. Georgia State’s Perimeter College Spring 2019 ceremonies for all associate degree candidates will be May 7, 2019, in the Clarkston Campus gymnasium.
Faculty please register to let us know you will participate in a ceremony as well.
Guest Tickets and Space
Expected attendance determines the allowed number of guests. We anticipate having space for four (4) guests per student at this time, however, additional tickets may become available later on a first-come, first-served basis.
There will be overflow seating in the library auditorium (CL 1100) where guests may view the ceremony on a large screen.
Graduation FAQs
Degrees and Diplomas
The Office of the Registrar mails diplomas to graduates six to eight weeks after the official date of degree conferral (based on the delivery of printed diplomas and preparation for mailing).
(For example, the official day of conferral for students graduating in fall semester of 2018 was Dec. 21, 2018. Diplomas mailed eight weeks from that date could be received in late February.)
All financial obligations to the University must be cleared before diplomas can be mailed.
Review the Degree Conferral and Diploma Information to find out important information about your achievement and the official document you will receive.
Caps and Gowns
Associate/Certificate caps and gowns may be obtained through a Georgia State University Perimeter College bookstore until Commencement.
Order pickup
Caps and gowns will be available for pick-up at your respective campus bookstore.
