Graduation Application
due March 15th!
Prior to (or during) your final term, you must apply to graduate to notify the college to begin processing your application to award your degree or certificate. You must complete this form even if you do not plan to participate in the annual Spring commencement ceremony.
Application and diploma are no cost (you’ve earned it).
Cap & Gown Ordering
When you fill out the graduation application (above), you will be asked if you want to participate in the Spring Commencement Ceremony. If you select “yes”, the 2024 graduation fee includes a cap, gown, and tassel for approximately $55. Orders AND payment are due by March 15th to avoid paying a late fee.
Regalia orders received after 4pm March 15, 2024, will be assessed a late fee of $25.00. Orders will not be accepted after 4pm March 29, 2024 to allow for shipping and distribution. Payment must be received by March 29th to complete the order.
To pay for your order, please visit the College Store on the Fort Morgan Campus or call (970) 542-3143.
Pick up your order the last week of April until the Friday before Graduation at the Fort Morgan College Store, Burlington, Limon, or Wray Centers.

DEGREE CHECK
You are required to run your Degree Check degree audit to be sure you are on track and/or meet with your academic advisor to assure your requirements will be completed by the end of your planned graduation term.
DIPLOMA NAME & MAILING ADDRESS
Check your MyMCC record to be sure your full name and mailing address are current and correct, as these will be used for diploma creation and mailing. Diplomas are free of charge and do not require Commencement Ceremony participation.
COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
Participation in the MCC annual Spring Commencement Ceremony is encouraged, but not required. A fee must be paid to the MCC College Store to reserve your space at the ceremony and to order your diploma cover, cap and gown. When an in-person ceremony is not possible, a ‘live’ virtual ceremony is held and students must meet deadlines to provide information for inclusion of photos, name pronunciation, and thank you statements.
LATE GRADUATION APPLICATIONS
Students who file graduation applications after the term deadline may risk missing deadlines for:
- Graduation honors designations and honors cord
- Graduation publicity
- Inclusion in the commencement program listings, programs, and commencement participation (in-person or virtual). They may also incur a delay in final graduation processing and receipt of diploma beyond the usual 6-8 weeks after the term ends, as well as be charged extra for commencement participation by the College Store.
