What if I need to cancel being a part of graduation?
If you need to cancel, you will get a full refund of any monies paid (minus membership fee) if CAP IT is notified prior to March 1 of your graduation year. If you cancel between March 1 and April 15, you will receive $100 refund. After that, no refund.

Does CAP IT Tampa give graduates a diploma?
You will receive a keepsake diploma - CAP IT Tampa is NOT a certified school with the state of Florida and has no power to officially grant a diploma of graduation. It is the responsibility of the student's parents or umbrella school to determine eligibility for graduation and to certify the high school education. If a school would like to see your diploma, they will likely be fine with the one you get from CAP IT. But usually they just want your transcript. Your keepsake diploma will look like this: Diplomas.pdf

How many guests can I have at graduation?
There is no limit to how many guests you can bring. 

Is there a dress code for the ceremony?
Yes, it is the same as previous years: 2024 Graduation Dress Code.pdf

Am I responsible for buying a cap and gown? YES! 
Show your personality and preferences with your cap, gown, tassel, and cords/stoles. You can also decorate your cap if you'd like to (with approval). Click here for more: Graduation Resources
