Graduation Steps
 

1. Submit your Graduation Application.

   • The deadline to submit your Graduation application is April 21, 2024. If you submit your application after this date your name will not appear in the Commencement Program. 

2. Submit your 2024 Commencement Card.

   • The commencement card is the information needed for you to participate in the ceremony. Think of it as your RSVP to let us know you will be walking across the stage. If you are getting an error message with the form your device (computer/phone) is remembering a non-AVC email address. Logout of that google account and using your AVC email you will be able to complete the form.

3. Obtain your Electronic Tickets.

   • Tickets are available through Purple Pass.

   • Due to stadium capacity students will receive no more than 5 guest tickets. Children under 4 years of age who can sit on an adult's lap do not need a guest ticket. Guests who are unable to receive a ticket will be able to cheer their graduate on while watching the live stream from the comfort of their home.

   • Students will go to the website and add 1 graduate ticket and up to 5 guest tickets to their cart.

   • Then enter your entire 900 # as your code. If you are not a verified graduate you will not be able to checkout.

   • You will need to enter your code twice. Once under the graduate portion and once under the guest portion.

   • You can only go in one time to redeem the tickets. Please redeem both yours and your guests' tickets at the same time. You will not be able to go back in once you check out.

   • Enter your information and confirm your order. 

   • Download your tickets and send them to your guests. 

4. Monitor your email and the AVC website for important announcements.
