Applying for Graduation
All students expecting to meet graduation requirements for a degree or diploma must submit an application for graduation to the Director of Records and Registration during his/her final semester registration.
1. Complete the Graduation Application located at www.wpcc.edu/wpcc_2/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/GradApplication_15-16.pdf and make an appointment with his/her Academic Advisor for review.
2. Return the Graduation Application and completed program evaluation, signed by student and Academic Advisor, to Student Services in Hildebrand Hall.
3. A preliminary graduation audit will be conducted by the Director of Records and Registration. Notifications of program completion, or program deficiencies will be mailed to the student. Academic Advisors will also be notified if there are program deficiencies.
4. Pay the $30.00 graduation fee to the Business Office as outlined in the graduation notification letter. If receiving more than one degree/diploma, please add an additional $10.00 for each additional degree.
Graduation Applications are processed at the end of each semester. The Commencement Ceremony is scheduled one time a year at the end of the spring semester. All graduating students are welcome to participate in this ceremony.
Graduation deadlines are published online at www.wpcc.edu/current-students/ and through Moodle. Students who fail to meet the deadlines as outlined or submit incomplete Graduation Applications may not be eligible for graduation in the term of program completion or may not be eligible to participate in the spring Commencement Ceremony.
