Highland Community College celebrates graduates during a ceremony held in May of each year. All HCC graduates from December 2024, May 2025, and July 2025 are eligible to participate in commencement exercises. We encourage all graduates to participate and celebrate this accomplishment with their families, friends, and fellow graduates. HCC students who have not previously participated in commencement exercises should contact the Registrar's office to discuss their eligibility.
Students planning to graduate from HCC are required to complete a Graduation Check prior to enrolling in their last semester of attendance to ensure all requirements will be met. An Application for Degree should be completed by March 15 for spring/summer graduates and October 15 for fall graduates. If this deadline is missed, please contact the Registrar’s office at registrar@highlandcc.edu. Students may also apply for the spring commencement if the student has 12 or fewer credit hours to be completed during the following summer term for a degree. Applications may be made online at the link above.
