Additional information for the Quad-Cities Campus ceremony:

Guests and attendees are required to enter through entrances with walk-through metal detectors. Vibrant Arena has a no bag policy, which means any bag/purse over 5”x7”x2” will need to be returned to your vehicle or checked in at Guest Services. The only exceptions are for medical reasons or diaper bags (with small child/children present upon entry). Vibrant Arena does not allow airhorns or any noise makers of any kind. Other items that are prohibited, along with weapons of any kind, are pocket knives, pepper spray and helium balloons.

The Quad-Cities Campus Commencement will be streamed live. Once we receive the link from the arena, it will be posted here and on the college’s social media. Stay tuned!
