In the case of rain, spring commencement at Flowerhill Lawn is moved indoors and a limited number of tickets are issued for each graduate. A broadcast email notification is sent out to all students in advance of the event should the ceremony need to be relocated. Please monitor your student email regularly for updates if you are graduating in the spring.

If you do not wish to participate in the ceremony, you must notify Graduate Admissions & Records of your intent so that you may be excused.  Please call our office at (205) 665-6350 or e-mail graduate@montevallo.edu

Please be certain that all degree requirements have been met.  Students taking courses at other institutions must submit an official transcript showing satisfactory completion of the course(s) to Graduate Admissions & Records no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Wednesday before graduation. 

A diploma card must be on file in Graduate Admissions & Records for graduation. The diploma card can be picked up in the Van Tuyll House.  If you have any questions or need someone to mail a card to your home, please call our office (205) 665-6350, or e-mail graduate@montevallo.edu
