President's Update - July 29, 2020

Dear Chattanooga State family,
The fall semester is approaching quickly. We have just three weeks before classes begin on August 24. If you have not yet enrolled for fall, the time to act is now. Please continue reading for a few important updates.

TCAT Graduation Update

The TCAT graduation ceremonies will be held on August 4th and 5th in the HPF Building. Emails with appointment times were sent to graduates Tuesday, July 28.

To our TCAT graduates, I am incredibly sorry that the detailed information regarding your scheduled graduation date and time was not sent before now. We needed to rework the graduation schedule to ensure we are following appropriate social distancing guidelines in order to minimize any risk to you, to your friends and family, and to our faculty and staff.
