Graduation Application Deadline
The deadline to apply for graduation for your name to appear in the spring 2021 commencement program has passed. You can still apply to graduate and participate in the commencement ceremony after this deadline passes.
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, you must submit your graduation application by this date. This guarantees processing in time to order your cap and gown. Applications submitted after this date are not guaranteed to be processed before the deadline to purchase a cap and gown for the ceremony. Apply by this date to have your name appear in the printed spring graduation ceremony program.
Central Piedmont has one graduation ceremony per year, in the spring. If you are eligible to graduate, you may submit your graduation application in fall to participate in the spring ceremony. If you submit your application in the summer, your name will appear in the following year's printed commencement program.
Be sure to check in with your advisor before applying to graduate. Verify how to apply to graduate based on your program:
