You must submit a request for your Associate
Degree and/or Certificate of Achievement the term in which you complete your degree
requirements. The deadline to submit your request is listed in the
semester calendar section of the
Class
Schedule. If you will not complete your course work until the
summer following a Commencement Ceremony, you may
petition to participate in the
ceremony. Once you have finished your degree requirements, you will
then receive your diploma. Contact the Counseling Office for details.
The
form to apply for your
Associate degree is available online or in the Admissions and Records
Office.
Students who are eligible for
graduation will receive a letter from the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs
in mid April. This letter will include general information regarding your
degree completion and
Commencement.
A cap and gown are required for
Commencement.
There is a fee for the cap, gown, tassel and diploma case. For those
graduates who are eligible for Honor cords, there is an additional cost.
They are yours to keep as a reminder of your graduation. Caps and gowns will
be available in various sizes and may be picked up at the College Bookstore.
In addition, the
Transfer Center
hosts a
Transfer Achievement Celebration each May honoring those students who will
be going on to 4 year colleges and universities.
