Graduation Application

NOTE: Students must submit an application to be awarded Certificates or Degrees.

We are no longer accepting applications for Fall 2023. The deadline has passed.  We will begin accepting Spring 2024 applications beginning October 1st. Please do not apply for any other semesters at this time.

Important! Please read carefully ...

You must submit a separate application for each certificate program/degree for which you are applying.

It is strongly recommended that you contact an academic advisor before you apply for graduation. This will help assure that you have fulfilled the requirements for your degree/certificate. Please go to the Advising page. https://www.rrcc.edu/advising for specific instructions. Students need to obtain a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.0 to be awarded a certificate or degree.

This application must be on file in the Student Records office no later than the deadline for graduation as posted in the current schedule. Application processing takes most of the semester. You will be contacted close to the end of the semester via your Student Email address with your status.

All incoming transcripts from other colleges, with credit applying to this diploma/certificate, need to be received and evaluated by the graduation application deadline. The deadline is found in the current schedule of classes on the calendar page.

All applications received after this deadline will be considered the following term. All items pertaining to the application must be filled out completely in order for this application to be evaluated and processed.

All financial obligations to the Community College System must be met before diplomas/certificates or final transcripts are issued.

Fill in your name as you wish it to appear on your diploma/certificate. Your last name MUST match our records. For multiple degrees or certificates, a separate application is required for each degree/certificate.
