SCAD Commencement 2026 is coming to the Savannah Convention Center on Friday, May 29, and if you're making the trip to celebrate your graduate, you'll want a home base worthy of the occasion.

Multiple Presentation of Degrees ceremonies will be held throughout the day, each honoring graduates from specific SCAD schools. Whether your family is arriving for the morning conferment or an afternoon ceremony, plan on a full day in one of the most beautiful cities in the South.

Make a weekend of it. Savannah doesn't let you leave after just one day — and it shouldn't. Book a Savannah vacation rental steps from the squares, the restaurants, and the riverfront, and give your graduate a celebration that lasts longer than the walk across the stage.
