On May 21, 2020, MSJC celebrated the Class of 2020 with a virtual ceremony.
To further honor this historic class, we’d like to invite last year's graduating class to be honored at a drive-thru celebration on May 26, 2021.
Please read below for more details.
Our drive-thru celebration is an opportunity for graduates to be recognized for their hard work- while remaining safe and adhering to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. Graduates will have the opportunity to bring family, wear your regalia, walk across the stage, have your name read, and a photo taken.
We are working on a video explaining what to expect at the drive-thru and plan to release the video in early May.
Participation in the drive-thru celebration is optional. We encourage you and your guests to join us as we want to celebrate your achievements! Graduates - please RSVP:

If you plan on participating in the drive-thru celebration, regalia is required (at minimum a cap & gown- black for degree recipients, red for certificate recipients, and white for nursing).
Starting April 12, 2021, the Eagle Shop Bookstore will begin selling Graduation regalia, In-store, and Online. The Eagle Shop is currently Open, Monday - Thursday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. If you can't make it to the store during regular business hours, don't worry about it, we got you covered. Please visit the Eagle Shop website
Each graduate may have one vehicle with as many family/friends as seat belts. We encourage graduates not to drive themselves, if possible, so that they may easily participate in the planned activities.
For the virtual ceremony, recitation videos were created and organized by last name. Those videos may be viewed here- msjc.edu/graduation/2020/conferral.html
For the drive-thru celebration, names will be called in order of arrival.
Our Class of 2020 diplomas have all been mailed. If you have questions regarding diplomas or certificates, contact Evaluations at ESgrading@msjc.edu
Graduates may purchase degree frames from our Eagle Shop Bookstore. Frames are available in our physical store now. Bookstore operating hours are Monday - Thursday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Degree frames are also available for purchase online. Please visit the Eagle Shop website
Graduates who RSVP and attend the drive-thru ceremony will have an opportunity to have two professional photos taken by GradImages. One is a candid photograph as you cross the stage and the second is a posed portrait. You will receive a free passport-sized, full-color proof by email after graduation. There is no obligation to purchase.
