As we eagerly anticipate our upcoming commencement ceremony, we would like to kindly remind everyone of the guidelines to ensure a smooth and enjoyable event for all attendees. Your cooperation in adhering to these rules is greatly appreciated.
Regalia: We encourage students to express their individuality and creativity by decorating their caps (only) for the ceremony. However, please note that unauthorized stoles or cords will not be permitted during the event.
Prohibited Items: To maintain a dignified atmosphere during the ceremony, we prohibit the following items in the gym during the ceremony.
Your understanding and compliance with these guidelines will contribute to the success of our ceremony. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to celebrating this special occasion together.
“Graduation” and “commencement” are related terms, but have slightly different meanings.
Regardless of whether or not you participate in commencement, you can graduate once you fulfill all requirements for your degree or certificate.
You apply for graduation by filling out the online Application for Graduation found on the AC Portal>Student Tab>Student Forms page. Degree evaluations can take 2 – 4 weeks to process. Once your degree evaluation is complete, you will receive an email notification from the Registrar (scox@angelina.edu) regarding approval or denial. This email will be sent to your AC student email address.
