Graduation

Congratulations, graduate! This is a tremendous achievement, and we are excited to celebrate with you.

Heartland Community College will host the Spring 2027 Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 14 at Grossinger Motors Arena in downtown Bloomington.

Check this website often for updates as Commencement approaches. 

Graduation is a Two-Step Process

To finish your program and (if you choose) participate in commencement, you must complete the following: 

 

 1. Apply To Graduate

This is required for all students completing a degree or certificate, including Nurse Assistant and EMT. The earlier you apply, the better.

2. Confirm your commencement participation

We also hope you celebrate your accomplishments by participating in the Commencement ceremony. This step is required only if you plan to walk in the Commencement ceremony. 

Applying for graduation does not automatically sign you up to be part of the Commencement ceremony. These are two different steps. 

 

Academic Progress Report

Your academic advisor can help you determine how close you are to graduation and answer questions about your specific plan of study.  Additionally, you can run your own Academic Progress report. It allows you to chart your progress toward completing the course requirements for your degree.

How to run an Academic Progress report:

  • Log into your Student Center  
  • Enter your login name and password
  • Click the Academic Progress tile
  • Click the Academic Progress tab
