Graduation Requirements
To qualify for graduation, a student must meet the following conditions:
- Qualify as a matriculated student.
- Complete all course requirements as specified by the academic program of study with
a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 for college-level courses, unless other
requirements are specified by the academic program. For specific major requirements,
consult the Program of Studies.
- Earn the number of credit hours required, and at least 25% of the credits for a degree
or certificate must be completed at RCC.
- Complete and submit a Petition to Graduate Form (PTG), available from the Advising
Office during the semester they plan to graduate. Students who don’t meet the requirements
to graduate for the term the PTG was submitted should meet with their advisor and
revise their PTG.
- Students may submit a PTG to participate in the spring commencement ceremony if they
have two (2) courses remaining and have or intend to register for them during the
summer semester.
