ATTENTION PROSPECTIVE GRADUATES

Now is the time to apply for graduation, if you expect to complete the requirements for an associate degree or a one-year certification by May or August 2017.  Apply online by visiting the student portal at MySCCC and selecting Apply for Graduation from the Quick Links for Students menu.

 

Keep the following items in mind:

 

·        Submit the application for graduation by April 1 to guarantee that your name will be included in the graduation brochure.

·        Submit the application for graduation in order to be posted as a graduate.

·        Submit the application for graduation whether or not you are planning to attend the graduation ceremony.  This will ensure that your diploma contains the correct information.

 

Why is receiving your degree important?  That’s easy to answer.  If you will be attending another college, your associate degree may allow you to transfer more of your Suffolk County Community College credits.  Additionally, your degree can make possible many employment and scholarship opportunities as well as give you access to Suffolk’s Alumni Association benefits.  And, finally, your Suffolk diploma is a testament to your hard work and accomplishment of this important educational goal.

 

If you have already filed for graduation, please disregard this notice.  We wish you all the best on your academic progress as you approach graduation.
