Step 2: Register for your ceremony
You will receive an email to register for your ceremony after you apply to graduate. Make sure to check your junk mail folder.
Step 3: Complete your Registration
Sending our graduates off with a positive and lasting experience is important to us. In order to contribute to the overall success of the convocation ceremony, there is a $60 non-refundable convocation fee. Included in this fee is a gown package for you to keep.
Within 3 business days after you register for your ceremony, this fee will be automatically applied to your CNC account. Make sure to complete your payment by May 16th, either in person in the Office of the Registrar at your local campus, or online through Pay my Tuition.
Registrations or late payments after May 16th will incur an additional $40 fee.
