Graduation Information

Graduation

Graduation signifies the completion of a program of study. The Adult & Continuing Education Center Graduation Ceremony is held annually to recognize students who have graduated or will graduate during the current academic year. Students who are enrolled in adult programs who have completed their program of study since the last ceremony are eligible to participate. Students who have an anticipated graduation date within three (3) calendar months of the ceremony date may also elect to participate in the ceremony occurring the summer prior to their graduation. The Practical Nursing Program holds a graduation ceremony at the end of each cohort. All graduation requirements must be met in order to be considered a graduate of the Adult & Continuing Education Center at York County School of Technology. 

The School will notify students regarding upcoming ceremonial activities; however, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the school if they wish to participate in the ceremony for which they are eligible. Participation in the graduation ceremony is optional. Diplomas and certificates are mailed four to six weeks after graduation.
