Appointments will be available in the days leading up to the ceremony to sign the rock on Main Campus, outside the bookstore entrance. Graduates may also sign after the commencement ceremony. Materials will be provided.
If ceremony-day weather is severe, any decision to cancel the ceremony will be posted immediately on the College website, ycp.edu, social media channels, and announced on the weather hotline at 717-815-6789.
A copy of each student’s grade report will be made available online as soon as it is processed. Students who have an incomplete grade or an apparent discrepancy should take the necessary corrective action immediately. The grade report will not contain documentation of graduation.
Diplomas will be mailed to graduates after final verification of all degree requirements has been completed. A copy of the final transcript documenting the student’s graduation will be included with the diploma. Please allow approximately 3-4 weeks for this process.
Receiving Your Diploma
Graduates will receive their diploma in the mail in the weeks following the end of the semester. The Records Office issues diplomas after a student’s requirements for degree completion are confirmed.
