APPLY FOR GRADUATION
Submit your
required application for graduation (and let us know whether or not you plan
to walk in May).
Information about requirements for graduation and other Academic Affairs details can be found in the degree regulations section of the WVU Tech catalog. If you have questions related to graduation requirements, academic records, etc., contact the Registrar's Office at Tech-Registrar-Records@mail.wvu.edu or 304.929.1450.
Cap and gowns can be purchased through the bookstore. Contact the bookstore.
Graduates are more than welcome to decorate their caps (mortarboards). This is a great part of the commencement tradition. Keep in mind that these are representing you as you graduate and could be seen in photos and the livestream. Have fun with it!
Honor cords and stoles are provided by the Registrar's Office at the event the morning of Commencement when you check in. These items are provided at no charge to the graduates.
The application for academic awards will be shared closer to the application period.
Get a coupon for GradImages if you pre-register. Other photos are available on our Flickr account.
We want to hear your plans after graduation. Whether you plan to travel, or you've already accepted your dream job, let us know by filling out this Graduate Placement Survey.
We will live stream the event via Zoom, which will be linked from wvutech.edu/commencement. The livestream will be archived on our YouTube channel.
Accessibility requests must be submitted in advance by email to tech-commencement@mail.wvu.edu. If you have not yet requested accessibility accommodations, please do so by April 30. Those with accessibility needs (along with ONE other guest) will be permitted to sit in the accessible seating area.
NOTE: There is a separate parking area for those who are going to be seated in the accessible seating. That parking area is noted on our parking map.
There are no limits on the number of guests that a graduate can invite and tickets will not be required for entrance for graduates or guests this year.
Check out our interactive map for parking and entrances here.
We have plenty of great lodging options. Check out the full list from the Beckley Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.
