Get Ready to Graduate - FAQs

Graduating this year? Here are the basics.

Graduation PhotoGraduation and commencement are two separate events. Graduation is the process by which Southeast Technical officially confers a degree to a learner. Commencement, on the other hand, is the ceremony which publicly recognizes those learners who have graduated or will soon graduate. If you will be graduating soon, please view Graduation Frequently Asked Questions.

The Application for Graduation form is available at both campus reception areas. You need to pick up the form in person because each form has a unique ID code on it. The deadline for submitting the Application for Graduation this year is Friday, March 7th

We want to remind all students to complete the process of applying for Graduation.  You need to complete the Application for Graduation Form whether you will participate in the ceremony or not. 

Commencement

The commencement ceremony is a celebration of your graduation. To participate in a commencement ceremony, you must have graduated or be certified for graduation. Participation in commencement does not imply or assure degree conferral. Degrees are conferred when all requirements have been met. 

Southeast Technical College has only one graduation ceremony per year.  Students who will be completing program requirements Spring Semester 2014 (May 14), Summer Session 2014 (August 8) and Fall Semester 2014 (December 19) should apply at this time.
