Last year, State Tech was one of the first and very few Colleges to have a in person Graduation. This will be our second year having our graduation outside! We are so excited to be able to do this again for our State Tech students. The Board, President, faculty and staff are excited to be able to celebrate our students graduating and to see them walk across that stage and receive their diploma.
You can click here to check out last year’s graduation news video from our local news channel KRCG13, to see just exactly how awesome State Tech’s Graduation was and how it will be again this year!
We hope that all of our Graduates have an amazing Graduation because you deserve the best! See you soon!

Dress Code for Graduates
Soon to be graduates must wear their cap, gown, and stoles (if applicable) for the Graduation ceremony. Please keep all personal belongings inside your vehicle.
Here is what is recommended for graduates to wear underneath their gowns:
Cap and Gown Care
In order to ensure that your cap and gown is ready for Graduation day, it is important to immediately remove the graduation gown from the bag and place it on a hanger to let any wrinkles fall out. If after hanging up the gown and the wrinkles still remain in the gown, you can either use a cool iron or steamer on the gown or hang the gown in a bathroom and run the shower as the steam should help release wrinkles. Please make sure you don’t wash or dry clean the gown.
The State Tech Marketing team will be taking pictures all day. Students will be getting their picture taken before the ceremony and when they receive their diploma as they cross the stage. Pictures will be sent out to students after Graduation, and will be our gift to you.
The State Tech Graduation ceremonies will be streamed on multiple platforms such as Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.
The State Tech Bookstore will be open on Graduation day from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.! The Bookstore is located in the lower level of the Information Technology Center. Online ordering is also always available. Click here to visit the Bookstore online. Congratulations from the State Tech Bookstore. We are proud of you!
