Panola College reserves the right to award and post any degrees and/or certificates or other recognized awards for current or former students who have met the completion requirements but have not applied for graduation. Diplomas for all awards will not be mailed unless requested by the student. Students will be notified of awards via the email on record.
Each candidate for graduation is encouraged to complete a formal application for graduation in order to request the award to be mailed and to participate in the commencement ceremony.
Commencement ceremonies are held twice a year at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Application for graduation is made online at https://www.panola.edu/admissions and must be submitted prior to the deadlines each semester in order to participate in the ceremony.
