Commencement, May 12th, 2022, Bojangles Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina

Central Piedmont is proud to host our very first fall graduation ceremony Tuesday, December 13, at 10 a.m. If you and your advisor have determined this is your last semester of classes and you are ready to graduate with a college degree or diploma, you can apply now for fall graduation through MyCollege (requires login). 

After we receive your graduation application, your graduation analyst will send you additional information on other actions you will need to take (it may take 2-4 weeks to process and review your application). If you are eligible for graduation after application, you will also receive an email from “MarchingOrder” noreply@marchingorder.com to register for the ceremony. 

Participating in the graduation ceremony is optional, so if you would like to be a part of this celebration, we would love to help recognize your accomplishments. You must register for the ceremony by these deadlines in order to participate in December 2022 ceremony:
