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.
