Apply for graduation
Graduation is not automatic upon completion of requirements. Students who expect to receive an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement are encouraged to apply for graduation after they have registered for the semester in which they plan to complete the requirements for their certificate or degree program. Students can apply for graduation through their mySDCCD portal.
