Graduation

Application

Degrees and Certificates are awarded in August, January, and May. The College holds a Commencement ceremony each year, usually scheduled in May.  Students must submit an application for graduation.  The deadlines for filing are: July 1 for August graduation, December 1 for January graduation, and April 1 for May graduation. Failure to file by the application submission deadlines may impact a student's name from appearing in the Commencement Program, eligibility for selected academic honors and a delay in receiving their diploma.  Students who do not meet all degree or certificate requirements for the graduation date for which they applied will have their application deferred to a later graduation date when requirments have been completed;  students should notify the Registration Office in cases where their graduation application for a specific semester needs to be deferred to a later graduation date.

May Commencement Ceremony

The following students may participate in the College Commencement held each May. Eligible students include those who:

  • Completed degree and certificate requirements in January or May
  • Have one or two courses remaining and expect to graduate by August.
  • Completed their requirements during the previous summer but did not participate in the Commencement Ceremony the year before.

Additionally, candidates for degrees in Culinary Arts, Radiography Education and candidates for the certificate in Culinary Arts who are required to enroll in clinical/practicum/internship courses in the Summer Session may participate in the ceremony. To be eligible, candidates must submit an application for August graduation by April 1.
