Procedure for Late Graduation Petitions

Students who submit petitions to graduate after the official deadline published in the college catalog and the class schedule will be considered for graduation during the next graduation petitioning time period. The college will not award degrees retroactively or backdate diplomas.

If all graduation requirements have been completed, the Office of Admissions and Records will, upon request, provide a transcript with the graduation statement showing the future graduation date or a letter stating that all graduation requirements have been completed and the date that graduation will occur.

If the student believes the college is responsible for the lateness of a petition, appeals may be made in writing to the Student Academic Progress/Exceptions Committee. The committee will recommend action to the dean of academic services if the college is determined to be responsible. The appeal will be denied by the committee if the college is not determined to be responsible.
