Convocation

Gowns are mandatory. Nothing, flowers or other decorations, should be attached to your gown.

Caps are NOT necessary for convocation. Save them for your actual graduation ceremony at your home school. 

Dress your best! Today celebrates YOU and your achievement. Dress comfortably, but please refrain from wearing jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes/sneakers, and flip flops.

Cell phones, purses, and other personal items should be left with family and friends. To keep convocation looking professional and capture the best photos please do not carry anything in to the ceremony.

We know your family and friends are just as excited as you are! 

There is not a limit to the number of guests who can attend. But there are some guidelines we expect all guests to follow:

• Arrive and be seated promptly and remain seated until convocation is complete.
• Save the shouting, hooting, hollering, and clapping until all students in the CTC program have crossed the stage, so that everyone can hear all student names as they are announced.
• Leave all noise makers, balloons, and signs in the car, as these items are prohibited in the hall.
• Sounds are amplified in the hall so phone ringing, talking, and even whispering can be distracting and disruptive. 
• Respect that Cedarville University is a non-smoking campus.

We will be livestreaming Convocation via YouTube. Livestream will begin at 5:55 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20. 

All school fees must be paid in full by May 2.

If you are unsure if school fees are owed please see Mrs. Holstein in the Main Office.
