The commencement ceremony takes place in the Sports Center at Lincoln Trail College. All guests attending in the Sports Center must have a ticket for entry. For those without tickets, a livestream of the ceremony will be available in the Zwermann Arts Center Theater, where seating is open to the public.

Parking is available in the main lot at Lincoln Trail College, but it can fill up quickly. Additional parking is available on North Campus. Please do not park in the grass, as it can damage the grounds.

Graduates will be called to the stage in the order listed in the program. An official photographer will take individual photos of each graduate after they leave the stage. We kindly ask guests to remain seated during the ceremony—approaching the stage for photos can obstruct the view of others and disrupt the flow of the event.

Diplomas will be mailed later this summer to graduates who have satisfied all academic and financial requirements for graduation.
