Commencement

For those unable to attend, the Commencement ceremonies will be streamed live on Montana Tech’s YouTube page. The link to the live stream will be available a few minutes prior to the ceremony.

All graduates are required to wear a cap and gown to participate in the ceremony. Regalia is available for purchase at the Campus Store. Questions? CampusStore@mtech.edu | 406-496-4190.

Diplomas will be mailed to the diploma address provided on students' graduation applications for those students who have completed their degree requirements. If your address changes before diplomas are mailed, please email graduation@mtech.edu with the updated address.

Honor cords will be available for undergraduates during finals week in Enrollment Services (SSC 3.126) as well as at check-in the day of the ceremony. Please check the catalog for the requirements for honors/high honors. Master/PhD hoods will be given to graduates during the ceremony.

Please note that if you completed a Request to Restrict Release of Directory Information during your time at Montana Tech, your name will not appear on the graduation list, in the commencement brochure, or in the newspaper article about graduation. Also, we recommend that you have this confidentiality flag removed from your account before you graduate. If a potential employer were to call Montana Tech to verify that you’ve earned a degree from Montana Tech, we cannot release that information if you have a confidentiality flag on your account. If you wish to remove this flag, please complete the Authorization to Release Directory Information form and turn it in at the Enrollment Services Office in SSC 3.126.

If you or a family member requires any special assistance at the ceremony due to a disability or mobility challenges, please email graduation@mtech.edu. There will be a designated drop-off and parking location for guests with disabilities.

Professional photographers from GradImages will capture individual portraits of each graduate as they cross the stage. Graduates will receive an email notification after the ceremony with instructions on how to access and purchase their photos online.

If you have a hold on your account, you will be allowed to participate in the commencement ceremony. However, you will not receive your plaque, diploma, or transcript until you have taken care of all of your holds.

As a special gift from Montana Tech, all graduates will receive a commemorative plaque featuring a copper replica of their diploma. These will be mailed alongside your official diploma once the final graduation check-out process is complete. (Please note: Plaques will be withheld for students with outstanding account holds.)
