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.
