Hi, Blaize. You can view a recap video of the ceremony here. Thanks for the question! ๐
I know about the recap but there isn’t a video of the whole thing? I remember one of the speakers saying the graduation was being recorded for those who didn’t come..
Hi, Blaize. The speakers were referring to a live stream video happening at the time of the event. Unfortunately, we do not have a clip of the entire ceremony available. Thanks for the question.
Where do I need to purchase my cap, gown, and tassels? (I lost the email of the link.)
I believe I’m on track with my courses. I’ll have 22 credits by June 9 & I didn’t receive an email about this.

What exact color is the cap and gown?
I saw videos and pictures from the past graduation ceremony and they all look like different greens. Sorry I’m trying to do my senior portraits and that’s why I want to know the exact color.
