Important Information

Graduation Regalia

Graduates are required to wear a black cap and gown for the commencement ceremony. Graduates may opt to wear a Lee College stole but it is not required. You may purchase your graduation regalia in the Navigator Nation Campus Merch Store in Moler Hall, Room 117, while supplies last.

You may also purchase regalia through Jostens online. If ordering from Jostens online, order early to ensure your regalia will arrive on time; please note the order deadlines displayed on the Jostens website and in the instructions emailed to graduates. Jostens will ship the regalia directly to your address.

Bags will not be allowed on stage, please bring only essential items to the graduation ceremony or leave personal belongings with your guests. If it is larger than a cell phone and cannot fit in your pocket, it will not be allowed on stage.

Guests

Tickets are not required for guests to attend the ceremony. We ask that graduates limit the number of invited guests to a maximum of nine. Seating for guests is on a first-come, first-served basis and there are no assigned or reserved seats.

Because of space limitations, if we reach capacity limits in the Performing Arts Center, guests will be redirected to view the streaming ceremony in the overflow room, Nursing lecture hall, Room S01, in the McNulty-Haddick building (map).

Livestream

Guests who cannot attend commencement in person may watch the events online. Simply return to this page on May 10 to see the livestreams.

Photos

Each graduate will be photographed on the stage. A photo link will be emailed to graduates who participate in commencement up to two weeks after commencement. You will be able to download your stage photo using the link.
