Application for Certificate or Graduation
A candidate for an associate in arts degree, associate in science
degree, associate in arts or science degree for transfer, or a
certificate of achievement must file a graduation application for
the degree or certificate. An application for a degree or certificate
of achievement will be accepted when a student is within a year
of potential graduation and/or completion. A student who needs
a formal evaluation prior to the year of graduation/completion
may appeal this policy by providing evidence of special program
requirements. Application deadlines are listed in the academic
calendar of this catalog. No student is a candidate for graduation
until the application is completed. Graduation ceremonies for
degree candidates are held at the end of the spring semester
each year. Diplomas will be dated at the end of the semester or
summer session in which requirements are met. Diplomas and
certificates are mailed to successful candidates approximately
two months after fulfilling graduation requirements.
