All students seeking a degree are required to submit a graduation application. There is no cost to apply. The graduation application is different than registering to walk in commencement exercises. It is recommended that students apply based on the following dates.

• Fall: last Monday in April
• Spring: last Monday in October
• Summer: last Monday in March

Ideally, students should apply after completion of approximately 30 credits, but students are strongly encouraged to apply prior to their final semester of classes. Doing so will help ensure that the necessary courses and number of credits can be taken to fulfill degree requirements. Students can apply via the "Apply to Graduate" link in the MySnow Student Portal or by submitting a completed graduation application form to the Graduation/Registration Office in the Greenwood Student Center.

Continuing to take courses (as pre-requisites or otherwise) after an Associate Degree is awarded could affect financial aid eligibility. Students planning to take courses after Associate Degree requirements are completed are encouraged to consult with the Graduation and Financial Aid offices regarding which semester to select for graduation.
