Walk-Through Ceremony Format

• After check-in, graduates and their guests will be allowed to enter the Walker Center for line-up.
• Guests must enter the Walker Center with their graduate.
• Once a graduate enters the auditorium they will proceed to the right side of the stage and their guests will stand in a designated section within the audience/seating area. As a graduate goes across the stage, their name and degree/diploma/certificate information will be announced and they will be presented a degree cover by Dr. Cox, WCC President.
• A representative from Photo Specialties will take a photo of each graduate as they are presented their degree cover by Dr. Cox (mask/facial covering must be worn) and as they prepare to exit the right side of the stage (mask/facial covering may be temporarily removed). Guests are welcome to take photos while their graduate is on the stage.

Update from College Board:

We're working to ensure that students will have opportunities to take the SAT® to make up for this spring’s lost administrations. Today we're sharing with you that we've added a new SAT administration for Saturday, September 26, 2020. This date will be for the SAT only, in the United States and internationally, with no SAT Subject Tests™ available. Sunday testing for religious reasons will be on September 27. Registration for the 2020-21 SAT administrations will open the week of May 26. At that point, June registrants will be able to transfer their seat to a 2020-21 administration. All other students in the high school class of 2021 who don't have SAT scores will also have early access to register for the August, September, and October administrations. This includes students who had registered for March or May and had their registrations canceled and refunded. For each administration this year, we're also preparing to significantly expand our capacity. Our top priorities are the health and safety of students and educators. Please note we'll only move forward with the administrations if it's safe to do so from a public health standpoint. If you have questions, call Customer Service at 866-756-7346 (domestic) or +1-212-713-7789 (international). We'll also regularly update our webpage with information.
