You've Made It!
Congratulations on successfully completing your programme of study. As you are aware, we are currently operating in unprecedented times that have been precipitated by the onslaught of the COVID-19 Pandemic. A major concern for the College Administrators was to ensure that final year students were afforded the opportunity to complete their academic requirements for their respective programme of studies.
The College has decided that while it is imperative to acknowledge students’ achievements, the most responsible and safest option for the Graduating Class of 2020, their families, the staff and faculty is to hold a Virtual Online Graduation for the Class of 2020.
Having made this decision, the College is committed to ensuring that this Virtual Online experience will be a memorable one and we urge you all to keep in mind that regardless of the format of the ceremony, your College experience was a meaningful milestone that epitomises the motto of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts: “Create, Persevere, Achieve”.
