Graduation is to be a respectful event. Family and friends should listen quietly to all student and faculty speeches, and refrain from shouting as names are called. Please be respectful of all graduates and their families. Every family wants to hear the name of their graduate as he or she walks across the stage.
To help expedite the ceremony and not disrupt the next graduating class, it is requested that you meet your graduate outside of the CCC following the ceremony.

To ensure guest safety and a quicker entry into the facility, the Curtis Culwell Center has a bag policy limiting the size and type allowed at all events. Click the links below to view a downloadable printable document detailing the policy.
