LIVE STREAMING

PROCESSIONAL AND DIPLOMA PRESENTATIONS
At the beginning of the ceremony, candidates will process in, and be seated in order as indicated by the Marshall. During diploma presentations, candidates will cross the stage from right to left.
COMMENCEMENT AND GRADUATION
Commencement is a ceremony in which preliminary degree and certificates are recognized for their academic achievements. The commencement program reflects the name and degrees and certificates of each preliminary degree candidate as well as the honors designation based on the previous semester’s progress. Conferral of the official North Central Texas College degree and certificates occurs after commencement when final grades are posted and all degree requirements have been met. The program only lists those candidates who applied by the appropriate deadline. Therefore, this program should not be considered an official list of graduates.
GUIDELINES FOR CANDIDATES AND GUESTS
Commencement is a significant and solemn event that celebrates academic achievement. In order to ensure that the ceremony is meaningful for all in attendance, please avoid all unnecessary conversation and movement. Also, please refrain from using airhorns or other noisemakers during the calling of student names.
RECESSIONAL
At the end of the ceremony, all candidates will recess outside.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR GRADUATES!
