Information for Guests

Snow College welcomes friends and family of the class of 2024 to come and celebrate this special day with us!

Ephraim Ceremony

We have several seating options for guests attending our Ephraim ceremony. All guests MUST be seated no later than 2:30 to accommodate the processional of graduates safely. Please arrive no later than 2:00 to allow time to pass through security. 

Tickets are not required. Seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Gates will open at 12:00.

Terry Foote Stadium

Seating in the stadium is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be considerate of those around you and refrain from saving seats or bringing stadium chairs.

Robert Stoddard Field

There are plenty of grassy areas around the stadium. Feel free to bring a blanket or lawn chairs and set up on the grass.

Eccles Center

The ceremony will be live-streamed on large screens in the Eccles Center. Many guests prefer sitting in the Eccles where they don’t have to worry about rain or heat, and they can sit in a comfortable chair.

Richfield Ceremony

The Richfield ceremony is held in the Sevier Valley Center, which has ample seating. We ask that guests of the Richfield ceremony arrive in their seats no later than 10:30 to allow the processional of graduates to pass through safely.

All Graduates

Graduates, for more information and a full checklist, please see the Graduation Ceremony Checklist.

Graduation Ceremony Attire

You must wear a cap and gown (regalia) to walk at the Graduation Ceremony. Regalia can be ordered online and will be delivered to the Snow College Campus Store to be picked up and paid for there. Orders must be completed by March 13, 2024 at midnight for prompt delivery. After this time, regalia will be available only through the Campus Store. Online orders will be available for pickup at the Campus Store on April 15. The cost will be approximately $40. You will need to know which degree you are receiving (Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science, Bachelor of Arts or Software Engineering) when you order. Campus Stores will also be open the morning of their campus’ commencement for last minute needs and gift buying.

Alumni Cords

The only approved accessories are the academic honor cords and the alumni cords. Celebrate this milestone by buying alumni cords and paying it forward to support future Badgers. The Alumni Association welcomes our soon-to-be graduates and invites you at this time to claim your Alumni Cord with a donation of only $20.24, representing your graduation year. All proceeds from the Alumni Cord will go to the Alumni Scholarship Fund which provides scholarships for current and future badgers. Give back with others from your class in a memorable way and join them in wearing your orange Alumni Cord at commencement. The process is easy! Simply purchase your Alumni Cord . After purchase, cords can be picked up at the Advancement Office, Campus Store, shipped by calling 435.283.7060, or will be held for pickup on the day of commencement before lining up.

Programs

Printed programs for commencement will be placed on all of the graduates’ chairs, so don’t worry about getting one as you enter the ceremony. Please remember that you are a candidate for graduation until the final degree check is completed. Between March 1 and April 1, please check the program list to make sure your name is there and spelled correctly. This is a big deal to your family.

Request for Accommodations

Snow College strives to ensure that all graduates and guests can participate fully in the commencement ceremony. If you or a guest require ADA accommodations or have questions about accessibility, please contact ude.wons@lesnihs.yendic (Ephraim) or ude.wons@mahgnirts.idieh (Richfield).

Photography

A professional photographer will take a picture of you as you receive your diploma cover. The company, GradImages, will send proofs to you and your family within 48 hours of the ceremony via email and text. You will also be mailed a proof. GradImages will ship prints within 24 hours of the order being placed, and they have an agreement with Shutterfly. If you have questions about the photos, you may contact GradImages directly.

Graduation Exit Survey

We value the experiences you have had at Snow College. As a part of the graduation process, you are encouraged to complete an on-line exit survey. This survey asks questions regarding your learning experiences at the College as well as your future plans (i.e. transfer, career, mission, etc.). Information from the survey is used to improve these experiences and provide additional opportunities for current and future students.

Diploma Information

Your final degree check will be completed after spring grades have been processed. Diplomas will be ordered for those students who have completed all requirements. If your mailing address is now different from the one on your graduation application, please notify the Graduation Office. If you do not do this, your diploma will not reach you. All financial debts to Snow College must be paid before the diploma will be issued. If you do not complete your degree requirements, you may change your graduation date by emailing the Graduation Office. Diplomas should be mailed to you by mid-summer.

Alumni Gift and Welcome

We want to encourage you to participate in the graduation activities. You have worked hard, and you deserve a day to celebrate this milestone. Commencement will be one of your best Snow College memories – being together with friends and family, celebrating your accomplishments, and enjoying the festive atmosphere of the day. In an effort to officially welcome you to the Alumni Association and recognize your accomplishments, our Alumni Association plans to give you a keepsake at the conclusion of the ceremony.

This really is an exciting time of year. We realize life is busy, but don’t miss this memorable event! Commencement will be a nice ending to your time at Snow and a great beginning for your future, and we’ll try our best to make sure that it is enjoyable for you, your friends, and your family. If you have any questions please see the contacts listed on our graduation website. We are all eager to help you realize this dream of a college degree!

Best wishes as you complete spring semester!

Transfer Credits

For questions regarding transfer credits, please see the Registrar's Office webpage.

The Campus Store has gifts and gift baskets available for purchase. They can even create custom gift baskets! Call the store at 435.283.7211 and ask for Tammy.
