Required Transcripts

All transcripts from previous institutions must be on file before an application will be processed. If you are currently taking courses at another college, it is your responsibility to have official transcripts sent to Cuyamaca College by the application deadline, and a follow-up transcript with final grades at the completion of the semester. Optional credit may be awarded for external exams such as AP, IB, and CLEP upon submission of official scores (transcripts) to the Admissions and Records Office.

The Evaluation Process

After your graduation application is processed, a graduation evaluation will be mailed to you. Graduation is based on the successful completion of all of your degree and/or certificate requirements by the graduation date that coincides with the term in which you apply.

What is a Graduation Evaluation?

A graduation evaluation is a document prepared by evaluation advisors that lists each graduation candidate's remaining degree and/or certificate requirements. It is the official document that is used to determine whether a graduation candidate can receive his or her degree or certificate.

Course Waivers & Substitutions (if applicable)

In some cases, departments will allow an exception to the requirements found in the catalog. For courses required in the major, a Modification of Major (MOM) form must be filed with appropriate approvals by the Department Chairperson and Division Dean before an exception can be made to a student’s evaluation. For General Education courses, a General Petition must be filed in the Admissions and Records Office. Both the MOM and General Petition forms are available in the Admissions and Records Office, or go to http://www.cuyamaca.edu/admissions/forms.asp, and must be submitted by the application deadline stated above.

Special Note About Name/Address/E-mail Changes

All Name, Address, or Email changes, must be submitted to the Admissions & Records by the application deadline stated above.

Final Evaluations

Grades are processed and finalized by the Admissions & Records office approximately 2-3 weeks after the semester officially ends. At that time, your evaluation will be updated. If you have met all of the stated requirements, your degree and/or certificate will be posted to your transcript record.

Diplomas

Approximately 4-6 weeks after the completion of the semester, you will be notified that your diploma is available to be picked up in the Admissions & Records office. NOTE: Please make sure the Admissions and Records Office has a current mailing address. An Address Change form may be found on the Admissions & Records homepage, or may be completed in person, prior to the completion of the semester.

Commencement Ceremony

Each year, at the completion of the spring semester, the commencement ceremony is held on campus. This ceremony is held for the current Spring candidates and the Fall and Summer degree and/or certificate graduates from the previous year. (Certificates of Proficiency and Specialization only candidates are not eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony).

Information regarding commencement will be available on the college website in early February. It will detail the location, date, and time, how to order announcements and where to rent a cap & gown for the ceremony. The date is also listed in the college catalog and spring class schedule. Please keep your email and mailing address current with the Admissions and Records Office so you will receive all important information regarding graduation.
