Graduation Information
Are you ready, class of 2023?
Graduation Day: May 10, 2023 | Deadline to order caps and gowns at the Campus Store is April 1, 2023
This is the ceremony for 2023 graduates. If you would like to 'walk' in the ceremony, all of your bills to RCC must be paid, and you must apply to graduate.
If you plan to participate in the graduation ceremony, it is important to follow these steps FIRST.
- Potential graduates must log into their self-service accounts and apply to graduate.
- Next, look for an email from the Registrar's Office confirming that your application to graduate has been received.
- Your Advisor will then review your graduation application to make sure you are ready to graduate.
- Once your Advisor gives approval and tells the Registrar’s Office, the Registrar will then send you a confirmation email.
- Then, take the confirmation email to the Campus Store and tell them you would like to walk in the ceremony.
In order to participate in the ceremony, all graduates must wear graduation attire, including an official cap and gown (failure to do so may result in not being allowed to participate in the ceremony).
Please check with the Campus Store for the specific color of our official cap and gown.
If you, as the graduate, need special accommodations during the graduation ceremony, please contact Cathy Aikens at 336-633-0394 or cdaikens@randolph.edu or Tara Williams at 336-633-0279 or tawil@randolph.edu prior to the ceremony.
