• Northwest Technical College Commencement Ceremony: May 9, 2025 @ 4:00pm
  

A table will be set up at the Sanford Center with name cards and honors medallions (for those listed as a recipient of academic honors in the booklet). Your commencement name card will ask for your personal email address and phone number. If you want your name pronounced a specific way, write out the pronunciation on the card. You will be holding your card during the march. The announcer will take your card when you step on stage to read your name aloud.

After the ceremony is over you will be contacted about graduation pictures. It is important we are able to contact you when you are no longer enrolled at NTC, please make sure the contact information on your commencement card is accurate.

Graduates and their families may not re-enter the Sanford Center after the ceremony ends.
