Graduation Requirements

Graduation Requirements

You may complete your degree or certificate any quarter! To make sure you're on track, we encourage you to meet with your completion coach or advisor at least two quarters before you anticipate completing. During the last quarter or next to last quarter in which all graduation requirements are being completed, you must formally apply to graduate. 

To apply for graduation, email Counseling & Advising at advisingFREECOLUMBIA_BASIN to schedule an appointment with your completion coach. Your completion coach will assist you with your graduation application and will submit it to the registrar for final review.

This page contains historical and current graduation requirements. Consult with your completion coach or advisor to determine the correct catalog year.
