A formal graduation exercise is held annually at the end of the spring semester at Navarro College. This exercise is for those students who are completing requirements during the spring semester, who have completed requirements during the preceding summer or fall semesters, or who are within two courses of completing requirements and who are enrolled in the course(s) for the next summer term. To participate in the graduation exercise, the student must submit an application for graduation to the Registrar’s Office no later than the date published in the calendar.
Students may graduate under the catalog and programs in effect at the time of their initial enrollment as long as they have had continuous enrollment. Missing one long semester (fall or spring) constitutes a break in enrollment and students will be required to adhere to the catalog and programs in effect at the time of their re-enrollment. Students also have the choice of graduating under the catalog and programs in effect at the time of graduation. Students must choose one or the other and may not combine rules or programs from two or more catalogs.
The commencement ceremonies will be held Thursday, May 7, 2020 and Friday, May 8, 2020, at The Wolens Special Events Center (SEC) located on the Corsicana Campus, 3200 W 7th Ave, Corsicana, Texas.
Please arrive in cap and gown. There will be no rehearsal, so your prompt arrival is absolutely essential. The commencement ceremony is a special occasion, remembered for years to come. With this in mind, please dress accordingly. Caps may not be decorated for the ceremony.
Your cap and gown may be picked up in the bookstore beginning Monday, April 6, 2020. All participants may pick up your cap and gown in the Corsicana, Mexia, Waxahachie, or Midlothian bookstores. There is no charge for your cap and gown, and you do not need to be measured in advance. Bookstore personnel will be pleased to assist you in ordering your graduation announcements and scheduling photographs. You must have your cap and gown picked up by Friday, May 1, 2020 at 12:00 noon.

The admission process and tuition and fees are the same for auditing as those for credit enrollment. Once a student chooses to audit a course, they cannot later ask to be changed to receive credit.
Student data change forms are available at the Office of the Registrar or on MYNC Portal.
Name changes must be accompanied with legal documentation of change such as marriage license, divorce decree or court order.

Course descriptions/syllabi must be provided to the Office of the Registrar for evaluation. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the necessary documentation. Courses are evaluated by Associate Deans to determine if the transfer course(s) are equivalent to Angelina College coursework. This process can take several weeks.
