Graduation
Students who believe they will complete Certificate, Diploma, or Degree requirements by the end of any semester, must submit a Request for Graduation by the Graduation Application deadline. Students who do not wish to participate in the Graduation Ceremony will still be required to submit a Request for Graduation but will not be charged the $35.00 fee.
Graduation ceremonies are held once a year in June. Students who
wish to participate in the Graduation Ceremony will be charged a $35.00
graduation fee. This fee covers Regalia (Cap & Gown) and Five
Graduation Announcements, as well as other costs associated with the
ceremony.
Diplomas will be available at the end of each semester and may
be picked up at the Student Affairs Office beginning the 10th class
day of the following semester and for two weeks after that date. After
two weeks, diplomas will be mailed to the address listed in Banner. All
financial and academic obligations must be met before diplomas will be
released. Diplomas printed with a name different from the name listed
in the student’s current academic record will be held until proof of
name change is submitted.
Southwest Georgia Technical College is committed to making each
graduation a special event for students and family members.
Commencement exercises are always held at the Thomasville Municipal
Auditorium in Downtown Thomasville. Please note the dates and times for
