Celebrate Our Graduates: EFSC Commencement Ceremonies Set for May 14!
Get ready, Space Coast! The excitement is building as Eastern Florida State College prepares to honor its graduates with two special commencement ceremonies on May 14, 2026. If you’ve got a loved one graduating this spring, mark your calendars for 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the King Center for the Performing Arts right here on our Melbourne campus. It’s a momentous occasion that brings our community together to celebrate education and achievement!
This year, graduates will each receive three tickets to share with family and friends—so make sure you grab one if you’re planning to cheer them on in person. But don’t worry if you miss out on a ticket; the Melbourne Campus will have overflow seating with live streaming in the Bldg. 4 Auditorium. It’s an incredible way for our community in Brevard County to show support, whether up close or from a distance.
To make the day even more memorable, you can join in the social media fun! Graduates and their friends and family are encouraged to share their proud moments using #EFSCGrad. Plus, for those who capture fantastic photos before, during, or after the ceremony, there’s a chance to see them displayed on the King Center’s screens—just upload them at efsc.edu/upload.
And let’s not forget: every graduate will get a professional photo taken by GradImages while they cross the stage. Keep an eye out for notification from them with details on how to purchase these keepsakes. This day is all about celebrating accomplishments, and you won’t want to miss out on the memories!
As part of the festivities, the EFSC Foundation will set up shop outside the King Center, offering flowers, commemorative t-shirts, and other items, with proceeds supporting student scholarships. After the ceremonies, don’t forget to explore joining the EFSC Alumni Association—it’s a great way to stay connected to the college and its community.
Heads up, walk-in registrations won’t be available this year due to ticketing regulations, so ensure you’ve got your details set ahead of time. For more information, check out easternflorida.edu/go/graduate or email graduation@easternflorida.edu.
