Hello Cambridge College Students,
Spring is here, and so is the time to think about your summer classes because registration starts today! We know picking classes might not be as fun as planning summer vacations, but it's important for getting one step closer to graduation. Don't forget, your advisor or success coach is here to help you figure it all out. They can help you pick the right classes that fit into your schedule, whether you want to be on campus, join live online, or do your work whenever you want with online courses. Let's make this summer productive and fun!
Graduation is also just around the corner, and it's a milestone you won't want to miss. Here's what you need to know:
The Cambridge College 53rd Commencement Ceremony will be held on Sunday, June 9, 2024 at the Leader Bank Pavilion, 290 Northern Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, at 4:00 PM.
