Graduation

Students apply for graduation online and will electronically submit an Application for Graduation via their Student Profile in Gus Connect within the first 10 weeks of the graduating term.

If a student has not met the graduation requirements for his/her degree, the Academic and Support Advisor will contact the student regarding the deficiencies. All responsibilities and financial obligations to the College must be met no later than one month prior to graduation.
