BTC will hold a Virtual Commencement Ceremony on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at 7:00 p.m., broadcast on the BTC Publications YouTube channel. The ceremony will last approximately 90 minutes (this may vary a bit) so build in some extra time.
Participating in the Commencement Ceremony is a great way to celebrate your achievement!
All students who will complete a program of 45 credits or more by the end of Summer quarter 2021 are eligible to participate in the Wednesday, June 23, 2021 Commencement Ceremony.
If you are completing your program and wish to receive a degree or certificate, please visit the Apply for your Certificate & Degree page under Current Students.
It will be mostly the same as if it were in person, but instead of graduates walking across the stage, graduates will be recognized with their name and degree or certificate earned. If you want to have YOUR PHOTO, along with your name, degree or certificate earned to be individually recognized, you need to email us and tell us you want to have your photo in the Virtual Commencement Ceremony by Friday, April 30, 2021 to commencement@btc.edu. Interim President Walter Hudsick will also direct graduates to move their tassels at the end of the ceremony which signifies being a graduate. Graduates are invited to wear their regalia while watching the Virtual Commencement Ceremony on Wednesday, June 23 with their family and friends!
Just think what a wonderful and memorable opportunity having a Virtual Commencement Ceremony could be for the graduates, their families and friends. No tickets, no waiting in line, no parking hassles, no long-distance commuting. This day belongs to our graduates, and it is our goal to make it a special, joyous occasion.
These materials will be available for shipment from the BTC Campus Store in May, the final date will come in the updates.

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) honor cords and other regalia can be purchased by PTK members on the PTK website. All PTK regalia are optional for PTK members.
