Graduation

A student should contact the campus Advising and Student Success Center with any questions about the degree plan and/or graduation requirements.

Commencement exercises are normally held at the conclusion of the spring term. The date(s) and times(s) are announced on the TCC website. A student completing graduation requirements during the summer or fall term may choose to participate in a commencement ceremony conducted at the conclusion of the following spring term.

A completed Commencement Interest Form (submitted in the current student portal) is required of all students participating in the annual commencement ceremony. All graduating students are encouraged to submit the form regardless of intent to participate in the ceremony to ensure the desired name is printed on the diploma and the correct address is on file for mailing the diploma. Students electing to participate in the ceremony should submit the form during the semester they will complete their final degree or certificate requirements.

Tarrant County College (TCC) reserves the right to post degrees and/or certificates for current or former students who have met completion requirements but have not formally initiated the graduation process. Degrees and certificates are posted at the end of the term in which they are earned (in August, December and May), even if the final course is in a session ending before the term ends.
