Volunteer State Community College

Volunteer State Community College holds two major commencement ceremonies each year — one at the conclusion of the Spring semester and one at the end of the Fall semester. volstate.edu

Summer-term graduates may participate in the subsequent Fall ceremony. Participation in the ceremony is optional, but completion of all program requirements is mandatory before the credential is awarded. volstate.edu

For the ceremony, graduates wear full academic regalia, including the classic graduation gown and graduation cap (mortarboard), paired with an appropriate tassel set. According to Vol State’s official commencement guidance, students eligible for Latin honors will receive a gold tassel, indicating cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude status based on their GPA. volstate.edu

• Veterans: red/white/blue cords
• Phi Theta Kappa: gold-key honors stole and blue/gold cords
