Dual Enrollment Graduation Stole Distribution

Graduation stoles will be delivered to the public, charter, and private high schools in early April and distributed to the students. Home education students must email dualenrollment@valenciacollege.edu to schedule a time to pick up their stole at East, West, Osceola, or Lake Nona campus.

Interested in DirectConnect to UCF®? You will need to complete the First Time in College application by the advertised deadline on the UCF website and indicate you will have earned your AA degree upon high school graduation. Note: applying as a DirectConnect to UCF® student does not guarantee admission for your desired term. Visit one of the Connect Centers to meet with a success coach.
