If these requirements are not complete within the last business day of the month you will be moved to the following qualified month.
The College has one commencement ceremony in May and three certification dates: May, August, or December. If you complete your requirements in the middle of a term, you will receive certification on the next certification date. For example, if you complete all your requirements in the month of February, then your next certification date is in May. Your diploma and transcript will have a May graduation date. If you complete all your requirements in October, your next certification date is in December.
We will keep your graduation application active for one academic year. If you are unable to complete the certification process by then, you will need to reapply for graduation (no fee necessary) at the Enrollment Services Center.
Approximately 30 days after degree is completed, diplomas are available to be picked up at the Office of Enrollment Services.
