Apply for Graduation
Students seeking to graduate with a degree, diploma, or certificate must apply for graduation through the Graduation Overview section in one semester before their anticipated date of graduation. For example, students should apply for graduation when they register for fall semester if they plan to graduate at the end of spring semester. Students must apply for graduation in order to have degree, diploma, or certificate completion information officially recorded on their transcripts.
Graduation application deadlines are normally around November 1 for fall graduation and March 1 for spring and summer graduation. There is no cost for candidates to apply or to officially graduate from a program at the college. Students who apply and are eligible for program completion will have the status of graduate noted on their official transcript.
Notice: Students who are readmitted to the College are accepted into the plan of study at the time of readmission. Similarly, students who change their credit (curriculum) program also are admitted to the new program under the plan of study at the time of program change.
