Requirements to be Eligible to Graduate

Steps to Graduate

  • Meet with Your Faculty Advisor or Counselor Before Applying to Graduate

    Your advisor will ensure that:

    - you have an official high school or equivalent high school diploma on file

    - you have been admitted to the appropriate program and catalog year

    - any course substitutions and waivers have been submitted

  • Submit Your Graduation Application

    You must submit your graduation application online in MyCollege (Graduation Overview menu) during graduation application windows. You cannot submit your graduation applications by fax.

    Apply to graduate in MyCollege (login required). If you do not see your program or have trouble submitting your application online, please contact your navigator or advisor to be put into your program.

    Your graduation analyst will audit your records and contact you within four weeks. Be sure to let your analyst know of any changes that could affect your status. All graduation related emails will go to your Central Piedmont student email account.

    Apply to graduate in MyCollege (login required).

  • Register for the Graduation Ceremony

    Once you've been found eligible by your graduation analyst, you will automatically receive an email from noreply@tassel.com. You will need to register for the ceremony through the link in this email. Complete the registration form so we know whether or not you plan to participate. If you have not applied for graduation and been found eligible you will not receive this email from Tassel. 

  • Order Your Transcript

    After completing all your requirements, including your final courses, we will add a notation of your degree/diploma/certificate and the date of your graduation to your transcript.

    Once you are notified that you are eligible to graduate, you may order your final transcript with your degree/diploma noted by completing the transcript request in MyCollege (login required) and marking the request "After Degree is Awarded". This way, we will not send your transcript until your degree is noted on it.

    If you have been notified that you have been certified as a graduate, please choose to send a "Current" transcript.

  • Get your Degree, Diploma, or Certificate in the Mail

    To request your degree or diploma, you need to submit a degree/diploma order form. Certificates are automatically mailed at no charge at the end of each month. You must have paid any balances to the college in full to receive your degree or diploma.

    Documents are mailed to the address listed in your MyCollege account — make sure this address is correct.

    It may take up to six weeks for you to receive your degree/diploma/certificate.

    Once your order has been processed, you will receive an email confirming that your Degree or Diploma is on its way to you.  This will be sent to your student email account from our printing and mailing partners, Parchment. After you receive this email, your paper copy will be mailed within 2 to 3 weeks.

    Adult High School Diplomas are ordered on a quarterly basis and therefore do not follow the regular ordering schedule. Please contact the Graduation office if you have any questions regarding Adult High School Diploma orders.
