Graduation#
Graduation is a multiple step process of developing an educational plan with a counselor,
completing your course requirements, and submitting an Application for Graduation.
The Graduation process is not automatic.
The term in which you have officially and successfully completed all of your graduation
requirements is when you graduate. Once your final grades are posted, your academic
records will be evaluated to determine if you completed all requirements and your
diploma will be sent to you by mail to the address listed in your MySDCCD portal.

Commencement Ceremony#
The Commencement Ceremony is the end-of-year celebration in May for students that
have completed or are expected to complete their degree/certificate requirements.
Students that completed their graduation requirements in the prior Fall or Summer
semesters may also participate in the May commencement ceremony. Participation in
commencement does not guarantee your application for graduation will be approved.
