NMC's 2025 Commencement ceremonies were held Saturday, May 3.
All Fall 2024, Spring 2025 and Summer 2025 graduates are eligible to participate.
Applying for a Degree or Certificate: Diplomas and certificates are not handed out on Commencement day. Once all degree or certificate requirements have been fulfilled, the degree or certificate will be mailed to the address on your graduation application approximately 6–8 weeks after final grades have been processed for the semester of graduation.
Livestream: For those not able to attend, NMC offered a livestream of the ceremonies at nmc.edu/video and on NMC's YouTube channel.
Professional Photography: A photographer was available for portraits of graduates, and professional prints can be purchased through the photographer. More information on the professional photography will be provided soon and a candid photo gallery is available below.
