As students approach the end of their programs of study, they should prepare for graduation, keeping in mind these steps.

Graduation Application

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.

Graduation Survey

In order to evaluate the quality of the education students receive at Snow College, each graduate is asked to take an assessment and complete a survey before graduation. The survey is an assessment of students' general opinions about the college. The results of the assessment and survey are confidential. They do not appear on transcripts and have no bearing on graduation status. The results from all students are combined to provide faculty, administration, and the Utah Board of Regents information about the knowledge and opinions of Snow College students.

Commencement Exercises

Commencement is a celebration of our students' success. All candidates for graduation are invited to participate. During this ceremony, students will be recognized for reaching their goals and joining the ranks of the select number of people worldwide who have a post-secondary degree.

Commencement occurs at the end of Spring Semester and includes any students who have graduated the preceding Fall Semester, those who will graduate in the current Spring Semester, or after the subsequent Summer Semester. Snow College holds two commencement ceremonies, one on the Ephraim campus and one on the Richfield campus. The college may also have a separate convocation for the four-year degree recipients. Dates for the ceremony are determined by the official Academic Calendar. More information about commencement can be found here.

Participation in Commencement Exercises does not guarantee that a degree has been earned or will be awarded.

ADA Accommodations at Commencement

Any person who feels he or she may need special accommodations connected with the graduation ceremonies may contact the Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator at (435) 283-7321.
