Students wishing to participate in the college's commencement (graduation) ceremony must complete an application for graduation (PDF file*) to determine their eligibility to attend.

The application for graduation must be submitted directly to the Office of Enrollment Services at any campus. A complete application should be submitted at the beginning of your final semester.

All applicants will be charged a graduation fee of $40. Participation in the annual commencement exercises (graduation ceremony) held in May is open to students who have applied to graduate in the current spring semester or who graduated in the preceding fall semester or summer session. For any details about the commencement ceremony, please call the Office of the Associate Vice President of Student Services at 825-2179.

WALK THROUGH POLICY – All students who need no more than six credit hours to complete their degree requirements may participate in the May commencement ceremony. Summer applicants who have six or fewer credit hours to complete and who wish to attend the preceding May ceremony must apply and indicate their preference to “walk through” in the appropriate section on their graduation application.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS – To be recommended for graduation, a student must meet all degree requirements, as outlined in the college catalog, and file an application for graduation. In order to determine if you have successfully met all of your degree requirements, you must run a degree evaluation in MyCCRI. Click here for instructions on how to run (and print) your degree evaluation.

DIPLOMA MAILING INFORMATION – Diplomas are mailed approximately four to six weeks following the date of graduation, except for any unforeseen circumstances. The Office of Enrollment Services is responsible for clearing you for graduation. Once you are cleared, your degree will be awarded and your diploma will be ordered.

Diplomas will be mailed to the address in our records. You will be responsible for entering this address on the Application for Graduation.

If you have not received your diploma eight weeks after your graduation date, check your online transcript to see if your degree was conferred. If conferred, you need to report not receiving your diploma to the Office of Enrollment Services. If your degree was not conferred, check with the Office of Enrollment Services.
