Graduation Update from Dr. Dew

 

Due to current and anticipated COVID-19 restrictions, we have decided to relocate all graduation ceremonies to First Baptist Church of Covington (16333 Louisiana Highway 1085, Covington, LA 70433) and revert to four ceremonies instead of six. Please review the graduation times and degree divisions below:

 

Friday, December 18, 2020

  • 10:00AM: All Leavell College Students   
  • 2:00PM: All Doctoral Students (ProDoc and ReDoc)

 

Saturday, December 19, 2020

  • 8:00AM: All Master of Arts Students
  • 10:00AM: All other Masters Students (MDiv, MTS, MMCM, and Graduate Certificate Students)

 

Here is what you need to know:

  • All tickets requested before this email are still valid.
  • All students should arrive at graduation one hour before their ceremonies dressed in their regalia. An NOBTS representative will be available to direct students where to go upon arrival.
  • Due to location changes, we can no longer offer childcare.
  • Any student that decides to not attend graduation should update the registrar's office immediately via email.
  • The ceremonies will be live-streamed. We will give you more information concerning links on Thursday. 
  • All attendees are required to wear a mask and adhere to social distancing guidelines. Any person that does not comply may be refused entry and/or asked to leave.
