This page is designed to give you some basic information about graduation. Please contact the Leesburg campus Admissions and Records Office if you have additional questions.

Commencement Preparation
Caps and gowns may be purchased from the campus bookstore beginning March 16, 2009 at a cost of $28.00 plus tax. Invitations are also available from the Bookstore.

Commencement Day
Check-in for graduates begins at 6:00 p.m. Graduates must be in the robing area by to be lined up for the processional. The processional into the main hall begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. We ask that all guests be in their seats at this time for the platform party, the faculty and the graduates to enter in grand fashion.

The doors to the hall are closed during the processional and are opened again once the graduates are seated.

Each graduate will have his or her name called as they walk across the stage and shake hands with either the President of the College or the Chairperson of the College Board of Trustees. A professional photographer is on hand to take pictures of each graduate as they receive their degree. Due to the number of graduates, the ceremony will end at approximately 9:00 pm. The graduates must stay until the program ends with the recessional. Family and friends are asked to remain in their seats until the recessional is complete.
