Graduate Resources for Review:
Commencement is a significant moment for graduates. It marks a pinnacle of achievement, and Savannah State University celebrates the occasion with formal pomp and circumstance. The commencement committee is working to create a positive solution for all involved, so that our student’s accomplishments can be celebrated with family and/or friends in attendance.
Here are a few reminders:
- Each student will be allowed to invite a maximum of fifteen (15) guests. Tickets will be required.
- Students and guests will be given specific instructions about entering and exiting the stadium.
If there are any concerns about your degree requirements, please contact your academic advisor. Questions related to diplomas or the application for graduation can be directed to the Office of the Registrar at graduation@savannahstate.edu.

Alumni Pinning Ceremony
The Alumni Pinning Ceremony is a sacred rite of passage marking the significant transition whereby graduates leave the ranks of student and are welcomed as esteemed members of the SSU National Alumni Association.
Here are some important things you should know about the Alumni Pinning Ceremony:- Pinning is a closed event and not open to everyone.
- Participants must have met all graduation requirements.
- You can only participate in the pinning once. If you are receiving an associates and plan to continue on to get the bachelors, you must wait until you have completed requirements for the bachelors degree to participate.
- Graduates can only be pinned by an alum of SSU.
- If you have a relative that is an alum, you can invite them to pin you (one guest only).
- If you do not know an alum that can pin you, alums will be present that will be happy to do it.
