Commencement

Yes!

RVCC’s top priority is to keep graduates and their families safe. We are excited to be able to offer multiple program-specific graduation ceremonies, outdoors. By offering three ceremonies we are able to ensure safe distancing. The ceremonies are fully outdoors; masks will be available for those who would like them.

The ceremonies will be held at the RVCC Claremont campus, 1 College Place, Claremont, NH 03743, outdoors, on the front lawn.

Please contact Nancy at the Bookstore at: 603-543-0915 or 0967mgr@follett.com.

With a maintained decrease in local COVID cases, we are happy to announce that graduates are welcome to bring as many guests to commencement as they like. Guests will be seated on the lawn and we encourage them to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

The event will be live-streamed through YouTube.

Yes, you may attend as one of their four guests.

Guests and graduates are welcome to arrive up to 30 minutes prior to the ceremony time, see the ceremony schedule below. Graduates should be dressed in regalia and ready to line up 10 minutes prior to the ceremony. 

Guests and graduates are welcome to park in the large back parking lot. From the back entrance, the Falcon room is located just inside the building. Graduates will check-in at the Falcon room and will be given instructions for lining up for the processional. Guests will walk from the back parking lot to find a seat on the front lawn.
