Commencement Ceremony

Additionally, students who complete their program requirements in the fall semester will also be invited to a December Graduation Celebration.

Information regarding the Commencement Ceremony and related activities will be sent to your HCCC email from the Student Life and Leadership Office. For more information and Frequently Asked Questions about the Commencement Ceremony, please visit the Commencement Ceremony Information page.

On the portal, you can also confirm that you are on the graduation list. Check the Graduate Applicant List (pending completion of spring/summer courses) and Graduate Candidate List (already certified as a graduate).

*Participation in the Commencement ceremony does not guarantee that a student will receive a degree. Degrees are awarded when students successfully complete all academic requirements.
