GRADUATION How do I apply for graduation? Log on to your MyWCC account, go to the ‘Student Self-Service Center’ tile and click on the ‘Academic Records’ tile. Then select ‘Apply for Graduation’ and follow the prompts. You can confirm whether all your degree requirements have been completed by checking your DegreeWorks account. Once I graduate, will my diploma be mailed to me? Yes, diplomas are now mailed to graduates. A notification is sent to the student’s WCC email address when the diplomas are mailed out from the vendor. They are usually mailed out at least 2 months after graduation; each student record must first be approved by the appropriate curriculum chair, and then the diplomas must be ordered from the College’s vendor. What if I need proof that I’ve graduated before my diploma is received and before the fact that I’ve graduated is noted on my transcript? You would need to speak with your curriculum chair and request documentation that you’ve completed your degree requirements. When is the deadline to apply for graduation? The deadline for a May graduation is generally in March, for an August graduation is in July, and for a December graduation is in November. For exact dates, please see www.sunywcc.edu/graduation When is the graduation ceremony? How do I find out details? There is one commencement ceremony in May of each year, and there is generally a smaller invitation-only completion celebration in December for December graduates. For the May ceremony, graduates will receive information via their WCC email address, generally in March. Questions regarding the ceremony can be directed to the Office of Student Involvement at getinvolved@sunywcc.edu I still have 6 or fewer credits to still complete over the Summer. Can I participate in the May commencement? Please check with your curriculum chair. You can participate if they agree to include you. If so, you can participate in the ceremony, but your name would not appear in the program. Please note that you would apply for an August graduation. How do I order a cap and gown? Once you apply for graduation you will receive an email inviting you to the Commencement ceremony in May. The invite email will be sent to those who choose to participate in the ceremony and will contain a link to order your cap and gown.
