Commencement cap and gown deadline approaching
The Advocate
The deadline to purchase a $27.99 cap and gown for graduation from Jostens in the Bookstore will be 5 p.m. June 15.
MHCC's commencement ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. June 16 at the Earl L. Klapstein Track and Field Stadium on the Gresham Campus. Graduates will be expected to assemble for the ceremony at 9 a.m.
Students planning on having their names printed in the commencement program needed to have their application turned in by April 20 of this year.
Students who will graduate at commencement but have not turned in the application by April 20 will still have their names read aloud at the ceremony, but will not be printed in the commencement program.
Their names will instead be printed in the 2013 commencement program.
The deadline to get one's name in the commencement program for 2013 will be April 19, 2013.
Students do not need to have finished all their coursework required for graduation by the time of commencement. At the ceremony, they receive an empty degree cover and receive the actual degree in the mail upon completion and final review.
Graduation applications will be held on file in the Admissions, Registration and Records Office for one year after being turned in. After that, the student would have to reapply, according to the college website.
Rehearsal for the commencement ceremony will be at 2 p.m. June 15, which according to the school website, will take 30 minutes. The website also said that instructions will be mailed out June 1.
