Leading up to Commencement!
Your Diploma
Diplomas are available to each graduate after the Commencement ceremonies for all colleges and schools. Official Arcadia frames can be found in the Campus Store. For questions or concerns regarding diplomas, contact the Office of the Registrar.
Your Cap Design
Each year, graduates are encouraged to let their creative selves shine—be it silly, sweet, or sentimental. You’ll be invited to share your design using #Arcadia2024 and to vote for our winners, who will receive Amazon gift cards.
Your Paver
The paver program offers the opportunity for seniors and alumni to have a brick on the Alumni Walk of Pride engraved with their name and graduation year. Seniors who make their own gift as a part of the paver program will be counted as having made a Senior Class Gift. You can learn and participate in the program here. Any questions, contact Margo Maas, Associate Director of Young Alumni & Student Engagement at maasm@arcaid.edu
