- How do I petition to graduate? You are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor to Petition to Graduate. If you are unable to schedule an appointment with a counselor, you may petition to graduate online through the Student Portal under the Academic Records tile. Your petition will then be reviewed by a counselor and approved if you are eligible for graduation.
- Who is invited to the 2024 Commencement ceremony? Students who have completed an Associate Degree during Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Winter 2024 are invited to participate in Commencement. Students who will be completing an associate degree at the end of Spring 2024 may also take part in the Commencement Ceremony as candidates for graduation.
- How do I get invited to Commencement? The Office of Student Life will send invitations via email by April 30, 2024 to students who completed their Associate Degree requirements in Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Winter 2024. If you are completing your degree requirements in Spring 2024 and you have submitted your Petition to Graduate no later than March 15, 2024, you will also be invited to take part in the graduation ceremony.
- How will I receive my invitation notice for Commencement? Invitations will be sent out via email by April 30, 2024. Do not opt out of receiving Blackboard messages from Los Angeles Valley College or Los Angeles Community College District. Doing so will result in you missing or not receiving an invitation email. Check your spam/junk mail as well. If you do not receive your invitation by April 30th, please contact the Office of Student Life at (818)-778-5516. Seat reservations for Commencement must be made by May 10, 2024.

- LAVC Honors: Information regarding honor regalia can be found at the LAVC Bookstore or Office of Student Life.
- Other District-wide Ceremonies: The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) hosts additional graduation ceremonies unrelated to our college. These ceremonies include: Black Graduation, Mi Gente Graduation, and Lavender Graduation. These events are separate and unrelated from the LAVC Graduation Ceremony. Please visit the LACCD website for information on District ceremonies.
- Diplomas: Students who graduated in Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Winter 2024 should already have received their diplomas. Diplomas are not distributed during Commencement. Your diploma will be sent to the Mailing Address on record. Please make sure this address is current. You may update your Mailing Address in your Student Portal. Please be aware diplomas are not a legal document. Your Degree will be posted on your official transcript. If you need to provide proof of degree, an official transcript may be ordered online from your Student Portal.
Congratulations Class of 2023!
