Graduation Procedures

Students who are ready to graduate should complete the following steps:

• Complete a Graduation Audit request form, available in the Counseling Office.
• Schedule an appointment to see a counselor/educational adviser to review the Graduation Audit.
• Associate in Art students will take the CLAST or file for a CLAST exemption (if eligible) prior to graduation.  Meet with a counselor/adviser to determine if you may be eligible for CLAST exemption. Check the Academic Calendar for CLAST registration and test dates.  Note: Associate in Science students are not required to take the CLAST.  (CLAST test information)
• Complete a diploma application and submit it to the Registration Office (after registering for the final term of courses).
• Apply to a university.  Check with the university for application deadline dates.  Many universities will accept, if not require, applications as early as six to 12 months ahead of the start of the term.
