PETITION TO GRADUATE FORM
PETITION TO GRADUATE/ONE-YEAR CERTIFICATE -
Each student who wishes to
graduate or receive a one-year (50 credit hours or more) certificate
must obtain a “Petition to Graduate/Certificate” form from the Gateway
Student Records Office TWO and ˝ QUARTERS IN ADVANCE of the quarter in which the
student intends to complete requirements. The student is to meet with
his/her advisor for an evaluation of all course work completed, review
of cumulative grade point average, and review of courses for which
he/she plans to complete within the next two quarters to determine
eligibility for graduation. The petition must be approved by the
student's academic advisor and filed with the Gateway Student Records
Office by
the published deadline date for the quarter of completion.
GRADUATION/CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
In order for a student to
be considered a candidate for an associate degree or one-year
certificate, he/she must:
1)
Satisfactorily complete the prescribed curriculum leading to that degree
or certificate.
2)
Attain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
3)
Complete the petition to graduate/certificate process by established
deadline dates.
4)
Must be officially registered in a class with COTC during the final
quarter of degree/certificate completion. Proficiency credit,
Non-Traditional credit, and Transfer credit do not apply toward meeting
this requirement.
NOTE:
Courses which the student expects to transfer must be clearly indicated
on the "Petition to Graduate/Certificate" form. An official transcript
from the other college must be received before a
diploma/certificate or COTC transcript will be issued.
COMMENCEMENT -
Graduation ceremonies are held in June and December with the conferring
of degrees and certificates. Any outstanding financial obligations must
be satisfied prior to participating in either ceremony. Any student who
has received financial aid must also complete an Exit Interview Survey.
A student who completes requirements at the end of Summer or Autumn
Quarters is invited to participate in the December ceremony. If they
prefer, a student may elect to wait and participate in the June
ceremony. A student who completes requirements at the end of Winter or
Spring Quarters is invited to participate in the June ceremony.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
·
A student
making a name change following submission of the “Petition to Graduate”
form must notify the Gateway Student Records Office. In cases where the diploma
order has been processed, an additional fee may be required.
·
If changes are made to the Petition to Graduate, students
are responsible for keeping the Records Office informed of any changes.
