Our ceremony will take place outdoors on the Quadrangle in the center of the Hall Campus. Please plan and let your guests know to plan accordingly.
The ceremony will be held as planned even in rainy conditions; however, in the case of sustained downpour or severe weather when the outdoor ceremony must be cancelled for safety, a more condensed ceremony will be held indoors on Friday, May 10th. Depending on the number of graduates participating, the number of guests may be limited in the case of this event.
Associate Degree, Diploma, and Technical Certificate of Credit students who complete their programs during Summer Semester 2023, Fall Semester 2023, and Spring Semester 2024 are eligible to participate.
Graduates can register online by going to the Graduation area of our website under My LTC. The deadline to register for this year’s Commencement Ceremony is March 1, 2024.
What is the process?
The Graduation Fee helps cover the cost of the student cap, gown, and tassel, as well as extra expenses incurred for the ceremony. The actual cost exceeds $40. Additional funding for the Commencement Ceremony is provided by the Student Government Association and the Student Activity Fees you pay each semester.
The Graduation Fee is due no later than March 1, 2024. This will ensure that the graduate’s cap and gown order can be placed and received in time for the ceremony. Payments can be made through Banner Web, in person, or by phone with the Business Office at 770-533-6909. Graduates must have received confirmation that their registration form was processed before they can pay the Graduation Fee.
Because Commencement is held in the morning, we do not have a scheduled rehearsal. We ask that all graduates arrive promptly at 7:30AM on May 3th to allow time to prepare for the ceremony.
