Application

Each student seeking a degree or a certificate of achievement is required to submit a Graduation Application to Admissions and Records.  Multiple degrees/certificate of achievements require additional graduation applications, (i.e. one degree per application). The application fee is $20.00 (plus a $15.00 postage fee if you want your diploma mailed to you). Students enrolled in their last required class(es) should apply at the beginning of that semester.

If transfer credit is to be applied toward degree/certificate requirements, official transcripts from that institution must be received by 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Admissions and Records by the time of application for graduation.

Application Deadlines:

• Fall Semester – October 15
• Spring Semester – March 15
• Summer Semester – July 1

Continuing Students

Students who continue taking classes at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 after a degree or certificate is finalized should be aware that their degree status may be changed to non-degree seeking. Students who plan to strive toward a different degree or certificate should declare this in the space provided on the graduation application. This is especially important for students applying for financial aid; failure to declare a new degree could result in revocation of financial aid funds.

Diplomas

Students should legibly print their name on the graduation application exactly as they would like it to appear on their diploma. Successfully completed degrees/certificates will be posted to the students’ official transcripts approximately 6-8 weeks after the end of the graduating semester in which the application was filed. Printed diplomas will be sent to the nearest 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 campus for students to pick up in-person unless the $15 postage fee is paid at time of application. If the postage fee is paid, diplomas will be sent via certified mail to the mailing address provided by the student on the application. Be sure to contact Admissions and Records if the mailing address changes.

To order a replacement diploma please use the Diploma Request Form. Replacement diplomas can be printed from 2013 and after. The cost for a replacement diploma is $20 and includes postage.

Graduation with Honors

The Commencement Program honors will be based on cumulative grade point averages through the previous fall semester. Honors will be posted on student transcripts with the degree/certificate designations based on grades including the student's final semester.

• Cum Laude – Cumulative grade-point averages of 3.50 to 3.69
• Magna Cum Laude – Cumulative grade-point averages of 3.70 to 3.89

Graduation Requirements

For Associate/Certificate Programs:
Graduating from 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 with an associate’s degree or certificate program requires all of the following:

• Completion of all courses in a prescribed associate’s degree or certificate program (a minimum of 60 credits for an associate’s degree and 30 credits for a certificate). You may select the program described in the current 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 catalog, the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 catalog at the time of your initial enrollment, or the catalog year in which you officially declared a program of study, provided that the catalog is not more than 6 years old at the time of graduation. (You may not use year-to-year catalog combinations. If you have had major interruptions in completing your program, you should follow the current catalog.) For programs with a separate application process, the catalog year will be determined by your date of acceptance into the program.
• Completion of at least 15 semester credits while in residence at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载, regardless of the number of semester hours completed elsewhere and transferred to 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载. NOTE: The College will accept up to 15 credits for non-traditional education (e.g., military training, POST, work experience, etc.) and up to 30 credits can be earned by examination (e.g., CLEP, Advanced Placement, Challenge Exams). However, non-traditional or challenge credit is not applicable to all degrees and such credits do not apply to the 15 credit 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 residency requirement.
• A cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Your cumulative GPA is based on the total credits you have taken at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载. Your cumulative GPA is determined by combining the points received for all your 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 courses and by dividing that total by the number of semester hours credited.
• Completion and filing of an Application for Graduation. If you are a candidate for a degree or a certificate, file your application, submit the $20.00 fee (plus a $15.00 postage fee if you want your diploma mailed to you), and processing will begin.
• Complete fulfillment of all financial obligations with the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Library and the Controller’s Office.

If you fail to meet degree/certificate requirements by the end of the semester following your application, submit a new application and repay the $20.00 application fee for a subsequent graduation date.

For Baccalaureate Programs:
Graduating with a baccalaureate degree requires all of the following:

• Completion of all courses in a prescribed degree program. You may elect to graduate under the catalog of the year of acceptance into a baccalaureate-level program or the year of graduation. Students who change their major must choose the catalog of the year of the latest change of major or the year of graduation. Whichever catalog is used, it cannot be more than 10 years old at the time of graduation.
• Attainment of the cumulative grade-point average required by your program, as well as any minimum grade in specific courses, as specified by the course catalog.
• Completion of at least half the number of credits required for a baccalaureate degree at a 4-year institution. A minimum number of 120 total credits is required, 42 of which must be upper division. To determine specific credit requirements, see the degree program of your choice.
• Completion of at least 32 credits in residence at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载, regardless of the number of semester hours completed elsewhere and transferred to 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载. Challenge exam credit and other non-traditional credits to do not apply to the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 residency requirement.
• Completion and filing of an Application for Graduation. If you are a candidate for a degree or a certificate, file your application, submit the $20.00 fee (plus a $15.00 postage fee if you want your diploma mailed to you), and processing will begin.
• Complete fulfillment of all financial obligations with the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Library and the Controller’s Office.

If you fail to meet degree/certificate requirements by the end of the semester following your application, submit a new application and repay the $20.00 application fee for a subsequent graduation date.
