COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

The ceremony for May 2013 graduates will be held on Saturday, May 18th at 11:00 a.m. at the Butte Civic Center.  Please plan to arrive at the Civic Center by 10:15 to begin lining up for the procession.  You will receive a commencement program and a card with your name, degree, major, and honor status.  If your name is difficult to pronounce, please email the phonetic spelling of your name to Kathy Williams at kwilliams@mtech.edu so it can be included on your name card.  This will ensure that your name is announced properly during the ceremony. You and your guests are also invited to a reception in the Student Union Building after Commencement.

If you completed a form requesting that your records be kept confidential, your name will not be included on the commencement program or in the program. If you will be graduating with honor or high honor, you'll need to pick up your honor cord in the Enrollment Services office the week before commencement.

DRESS REHEARSAL

Dress rehearsal will take place at the HPER on Friday, May 17th at 3:00 pm.  Campus and College group pictures will be taken at that time.  Please be sure to bring or wear complete graduation attire including Gown, Cap, Tassel and Honor Cord, if applicable.  Master's students will not have their hoods.  Hoods are given at commencement.

CAP AND GOWN

Caps and gowns are available at the Bookstore after March 1st .  Please note that the Bookstore will be open on Saturday, May 18th from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm.

HONOR CORDS

If you are graduating with honor or high honor, you will wear an honor cord during the ceremony. Please stop by Enrollment Services (MG 207) the week before commencement to pick up your honor cord.  Visit this website to learn how honor and high honor are calculated.  If you misplace your honor cord, you will be required to pay an $8.00 replacement fee if you want another cord.

HOLDS

If you have a hold on your account, you will be allowed to participate in the commencement ceremony.  However, you will not receive your plaque, diploma, or transcript until you have taken care of all of your holds.  Please check your Orediggerweb account to see if you have any holds.

PLAQUES

All graduates (except those with holds) will receive a plaque with a copper replica of their diploma as a gift from Montana Tech.  These plaques will be available in the Kelly Steward room in the SUB after the ceremony.

PHOTOS

Montana Tech graduation photos (individual and group shots) will be taken by Kristina Larson with Promise Photography. Individual photos of the graduate receiving their diploma can be taken at the graduation ceremony but MUST be pre-ordered by emailing your name, hometown, degree (or degrees) and phone number to klphotobiz@yahoo.com. Only those graduates who pre-order individual photos will have their photo taken. The individual shots will then be available for purchase online at http://klphotobiz.zenfolio.com/mttech%20after May 26.
