Letter to the Graduate

Dear Prospective Spring 2023 Graduate,

Congratulations! It is my pleasure to inform you that you may be eligible to graduate this semester. It is imperative that you review your graduation application as soon as possible to graduate. You can access your application by logging on to your eSantaFe account and clicking "Records" followed by "Graduation."  If there is not an automatically populated application, you may need to create one.

Please note that there are three commencement ceremonies this Spring. Each ceremony will be held in the SF Gym, Building V.

• Nurse’s Pinning/Graduation - Thursday, May 4, 2023, 3 p.m.
• B.A.S., B.S., A.S., A.A.S., degrees and Certificates - Friday, May 5, 2023, 3 p.m.
• All A.A. Degrees - Friday, May 5, 2023, 7 p.m.

To ensure that your closest loved ones are able to share in your special moment while the College adheres to strict safety standards, students who are walking in the Friday ceremonies will receive 4 tickets each. Only persons with tickets will be admitted into the gym. (Tickets are not required for the Nurse’s Pinning/Graduation.)

Doors to the gym will close once the procession begins. Guests arriving late and guests without tickets will be able to view the ceremonies on the big screen inside the Fine Arts Hall. Seating in both the gym and the Fine Arts Hall is provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You can pick up your 4 tickets on Wednesday, April 5 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the SF Bookstore. Beginning April 6, tickets will be available in the lobby of S Building, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The deadline to pick up tickets is April 28.

Please be sure to visit the graduation website for additional information.

Wishing you all the very best!
