Planning is underway for the Spring 2021 commencement ceremonies. We are excited to announce the change to two outdoor ceremonies in Tucker Stadium. Outdoor ceremonies help us meet several important expectations from graduates. Our May ceremonies must still follow COVID-19 safety protocol. Our number of spring graduates is so large, we would have to limit the number of guests if we stayed indoors. We would also have to hold ceremonies over a two-day period because of the capacity in Hooper Eblen Center under COVID-19 protocol. Commencement in Tucker Stadium allows us host ceremonies in a beautiful setting with plenty of room for family and friends.

Please note the date is now Friday, May 7. Ceremony times will be at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. All candidates are required to RSVP for their ceremony by April 19.

Please visit the website to RSVP for this ceremony and for updates and additional information.

General Complaint Reporting

In addition to the Fraud, Waste, or Abuse reporting form, Tennessee Tech also has a form on Internal Audit’s website for confidentially reporting complaints about accounting, internal control, auditing matters, code of conduct, and other related issues that are NOT fraud, waste, or abuse. Complainants remain COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS to Internal Audit unless the last section of the form is completed. General complaints received on this form are routed to appropriate campus departments for follow-up.

The form can be submitted online or completed, printed, and mailed to Internal Audit, PO Box 5154, Cookeville, TN 38505.

The online form can be found at https://tf.tntech.edu/machform/view.php?id=322625.

The printable form can be found at https://www.tntech.edu/internalaudit/pdf/generalcomplaints/gencomp.pdf.
