Butler County Community College is planning multiple walk-thru graduation ceremonies this year.
College officials announced that the ceremonies will be held on May 19th outdoors on their main campus. The plan is to hold 45 minute mini-ceremonies over the course of the afternoon and evening.
The ceremonies will be held near the Heaton Learning Commons and feature video presentations. Students will then walk across the stage to receive their diplomas.
BC3 officials also say appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions will be in place and enforced. Graduates may bring no more than four guests, who should wear a face covering and maintain six feet of physical distance between others.
Graduates who attended BC3’s main campus or its additional locations in Armstrong, Butler, Jefferson, Lawrence or Mercer counties and who have registered for commencement will receive by mail their mortarboard, gown, tassel and name card to bring to the ceremony.
BC3 expects to graduate around 460 students this spring.
