Graduation Information

Ready. Set. Graduate.

Your Journey is Nearly Complete!

Students in their cape and gowns.You've spent countless hours taking classes, studying and completing assignments while working, caring for your family and losing sleep. It's nearly time to celebrate your accomplishments with your fellow students, friends and family at graduation. Here's what you should know:

Once you’ve completed about half of the required credits for your academic program, our team will automatically begin checking on your progress. There is no graduation application or required fee to apply. If you’re on the right track towards completing your associate degree, we’ll email you with an update and your next steps to take.

During your final semester, we’ll confirm your diploma information and let you know if you’re cleared to graduate. If you have more than two courses remaining, or a GPA below 2.0, you will not yet be eligible to graduate nor will you be permitted to walk in the commencement ceremony until these outstanding issues are resolved.

No forms. No fees. No stress.

How the Graduation Process Works

Once you’ve completed half the credits for your program, we automatically review your progress. You’ll get an email letting you know where you stand.

Then, around the eighth week of your final semester, we’ll reach out to confirm how your name will appear on your diploma. If everything’s in order, you’re on your way.
