Lakeland Community College is pleased to announce that it will hold two commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Athletic and Fitness Center's main gym.
A cap, gown and tassel are the official regalia that you must wear at commencement. Beginning April 9, 2024, regalia can be picked up in the Lakeland Bookstore. Check the bookstore webpage for current hours of operation.
If you did not indicate on the graduation application that you wanted to purchase your regalia, you may still do so by returning to the graduation application and updating your selection. The regalia fee can be paid through your myLakeland account or at the cashier's office.
Guest Tickets
You are entitled to receive up to six (6) guest tickets for the ceremony. Request your guest tickets in the Graduation Application (myLakeland login required). Guest tickets are free and are required for admission. Fire Marshal regulations require that all guests, including children of any age, have a ticket. Additional tickets can be requested through the Graduation Application. If tickets are available, you will be contacted by May 1, 2024, via your Lakeland student email. Tickets will be allocated in the order the request was received. Pick up your tickets with your academic regalia in the Lakeland Bookstore. Check the bookstore webpage for current hours of operation.
One of my favorite things about Lakeland is the CCP program, which is a great opportunity to earn college credit so that I'm able to save time and money in the future. It was great that I was able to earn two degrees while still in high school, so I can earn my bachelor's degree in 2 years.

I loved coming to class to learn about real-life cases that my professors have experienced and the opportunity to go through mock crime scene scenarios. Especially with the recent development of the criminal justice program, I enjoyed "investigating" a "residence", simulating a grave excavation, and lifting fingerprints. It is a bittersweet moment that I will be graduating.
