Graduation Ceremony

There is no rehearsal prior to the ceremony. Please assemble dressed in cap and gown in the gymnasium (Bldg. 6) no later than 6 p.m. At that time you will be given a card with your name printed on it. Keep this with you and hand it to the narrator when you approach the stage. Your name will be announced as you walk across the stage.

Caps and Gowns will be available at no cost for pickup in the bookstore. Check back here for updated information on the exact date.

If you require special accommodations for the ceremony (wheelchair access, interpreter, etc.) please contact Kimberley Smith in Access Services at 352-854-2322, ext. 1580.

PLEASE NOTE: CF does not conduct summer graduation ceremonies. Students eligible for summer graduation may choose to march in the prior spring ceremony or next fall ceremony. Students who choose to march in the spring ceremony must submit their summer graduation application by the spring semester deadline. Names of summer graduates will be printed in the commencement program that they select on the graduation application.

In the event of inclement weather graduation will be moved to the First Baptist Church.  Due to limitation of seating in the sanctuary the number of guests per graduate will be limited to four.  Directions to the church and guest tickets will be available with caps and gowns.
