Graduation

It is the responsibility of each student to meet the graduation/program completion requirements of the College in his or her particular program of study and to maintain at least the minimum required grade point average. Counselors and faculty advisors will guide students, but the final responsibility for program completion/graduation belongs to the student. To graduate from a program and receive a degree, diploma, or certificate, a student must:

• Complete a core of general education courses as follows:
  - The core for associate degree programs (at least 15 semester hours) must include at least one course from each of the following areas: the humanities/fine arts, the social/behavioral sciences, and the natural sciences/mathematics and provide components designed to ensure competence in reading, writing, oral communication, and fundamental mathematical skills
  - The core for diploma programs (at least 8 semester hours) is designed to develop communication, computational, behavioral, and social science skills appropriate to the occupational purpose of the program
• Complete all required courses for the curriculum program, including electives
• Demonstrate achievement of program outcome
• Earn a program GPA (grade-point average) of 2.0 for all curriculum work in the program in which the student is graduating
• Fulfill all financial obligations, including all fees and the return of all books and materials to the Library
• Submit a Program Completion Application to Student Records
