Steps to Graduate
- Meet with an advisor or counselor to make sure you are meeting the requirements for the catalog term you are following.
- If you have satisfied all the degree requirements, complete a Petition for Graduation Form, located in the Office of Admissions and Records, during the last semester of your course completion. Deadlines for submitting petitions are published in the CLC Schedule of Classes. The deadline for students completing their coursework in the fall semester is during the first four weeks of that semester, and the deadline for students completing their coursework in the spring or summer semester is the first four weeks of the spring semester.
- You will receive the results of the evaluation of your petition approximately four to six weeks after the start of the term that you have designated as completing your requirements.
- A commencement ceremony is held annually in the month of May for fall graduates and spring/summer candidates.
Petition for Graduation
All students who intend to receive a degree or certificate must complete a Petition for Graduation. Students must meet the general requirements for associate degrees and must successfully complete the specific General Education Requirements as defined by CLC’s catalog at the time they are first enrolled, or at the time they petition for graduation.
Students who have not enrolled in any course listed in the CLC class schedule for at least two years will be designated as inactive. Inactive students who register for courses will be governed by the college catalog covering the semester in which they re-enroll.
