Information about

Graduation

The name on the diploma will appear exactly as it is on file with the Admissions Office.

The address on the graduation application should be the same as the address on file in the Admissions Office. Please notify the Admissions Office if you have a change of address. Failure to change the address through the Admissions Office will delay the receipt of the diploma. Students should provide one or more telephone numbers where they can be reached after graduation.

If planning to walk, the student must fill in height and weight.

A letter will be mailed to the student approximately 3 weeks prior to the graduation ceremony instructing participating graduates on procedures for graduation.

Turning in a graduation application and/or participating in the ceremony is NOT a guarantee that you will graduate in that given semester. The student's transcript must be reviewed by the Registrar after all grades have posted for the semester to determine eligibility for graduation, this falls after any ceremonies at the college.

Degrees will be posted approximately 3 weeks after the conferral date, but it may take longer if there are any issues, such as missing grades, unmet requirements, pending transfer credits, or a balance on my account.

FALL GRADUATES

Students completing graduation requirements during the Fall Semester have the option of participating in the graduation ceremony held at the end of the Spring Semester. However the official transcript will reflect a December graduation date.

PTK MEMBERS

Students wanting the PTK designation on their diploma should use the link within the graduation application to have their membership status verified by a PTK advisor.

DIPLOMAS WILL BE MAILED 4 - 5 WEEKS AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY.
