Commencement: Announcements & Rain Tickets

What Are Announcements?
Students are given five announcements that can be sent out to family, friends and other special guests. This will inform them of your special day and the basic details of the GCC Commencement Ceremony.

What Are Rain Tickets?
In the case of inclement weather, the GCC Commencement Ceremony is moved from the Plaza into the gymnasium in the Physical Education Center. Due to limited seating capacity, admission to the gymnasium will be by RAIN ticket only. Graduates will be given two rain tickets to give to their special guests as a precautionary measure. If the gymnasium has reached its capacity, your guests may be diverted, for their own safety, to an alternate viewing area on GCC’s campus. Check www.gccnj.edu or 856 468-5000 for last minute announcements and instructions.

When Can I Pick Up My Announcements & Rain Tickets?
You may pick up your five announcements and two rain tickets at the College Bookstore after April 9th. You must provide a valid Photo ID and Student ID number (i.e. - A12345678) in order to pick up your announcements and rain tickets.
