Vance-Granville Community College spring 2026 commencement exercises will take place at McGregor Hall on Thursday, May 14 and Friday, May 15.
Because of the growing number of graduates, school leaders decided to split the graduation ceremonies. Graduates are assigned a date based on their program of study:
Thursday, May 14:
- College and Career Readiness Programs
- School of Business, Applied Technology and Public Safety
- School of Health Sciences
Friday, May 15:
- School of Arts and Sciences
McGregor Hall, located at 201 Breckenridge St., is wheelchair accessible and equipped with accessible seating.
Each graduate is guaranteed four guest tickets for their assigned ceremony, which must be claimed in advance. Tickets are scheduled to be electronically distributed to graduates on Wednesday, May 6. Graduates are responsible for distributing tickets to their guests.
Unclaimed tickets will be released, and graduates will have an opportunity to claim additional tickets.
An important reminder for those who plan to attend either of the graduation ceremonies: Each guest must present a ticket with a unique, scannable QR code to enter McGregor Hall. Guests without a scannable ticket will not be admitted. All attendees aged three (3) and older must have a ticket to enter the ceremony, including current VGCC students who plan to attend as guests. Children under the age of three do not need a ticket if they will sit on a guest’s lap during the ceremony. Graduates do not require a ticket.
Those unable to attend in person may join the event livestream on the official VGCC YouTube channel.
