Graduation


The process of graduation begins when an application to graduate is completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar by your advisor. The deadline to submit the application is normally the end of the 3rd or 4th week of the term. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for the exact date. Late submissions will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances.

Graduation Requirements

The requirements necessary for each degree offered are listed in the University Catalog. It is the student's responsibility to understand these requirements and to ensure that their academic record is accurate and up to date. All Incomplete grades must be completed prior to graduation. Further, a student taking an incomplete grade in any course during the semester in which they have applied to graduate will be denied graduation for that semester. Students taking courses at another institution during the semester in which they have applied to graduate may be denied if the transfer course work is not received in a timely manner.

Graduation Process

Once you have met with your advisor, your advisor will begin the process of verifying graduation requirements. A final determination is not made until the end of the term when all final grades have been posted. Once the degree is certified, the application will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for the degree to be posted to the student's academic record. If a student is denied graduation he/she must reapply in a subsequent term.

Associate in Arts

Application for AA degree must be submitted to the appropriate academic advisor for approval any semester after completion of the requirements but prior to an application for the baccalaureate degree.
