You will be notified when diplomas are ready for distribution. The notification letter will include pick-up instructions and information about any outstanding balances that must be cleared before it will be released to you . They will not be distributed to students who owe money to the College. This will be the only diploma you will receive, so please keep it in a safe place.

Commencement Guidelines

Who Can Participate?

The College will be honoring students who satisfactorily completed degree requirements for the semesters ending in August 2007, December 2007 and April 2008. For those who completed in April, only your academic record is being audited at this time. Because of time constraints, your non-academic record may take longer to audit. If you have not completed an application for graduation, available at the Office of the Registrar, please do so now. After an application is filed, records are then checked and eligibility for graduation is confirmed. The Office of the Registrar then prepares the list of students who qualify to participate in commencement. If you have questions about participating call extension 5008.
