| Q: |
How will I know I have
met all of the requirements for my program? |
| A: |
Once you complete
the Intent to Graduate Application, the Graduation Office will do
a preliminary audit and send you a letter informing you of your status. |
| Q: |
What if a course I need
to fulfill my requirements is not being offered and my advisor recommends
another course to substitute for that requirement? |
| A: |
If your advisor recommends
a course other than the required course, the Department Chair will
need to approve the substitution and forward a Substitution Waiver
Form to the Graduation Office – 3-103. |
| Q: |
What do I do if I attended
another school and want to have a course transferred to MCC to meet
the requirements for graduation in my program? |
| A: |
You will need to have
an official transcript sent to the MCC Graduation Office Advisor.
The advisor will work with an admissions counselor will then determine
if the transfer course is acceptable. |
| Q: |
If I have one or two
courses to complete during the summer, can I still graduate in May?
|
| A: |
You will not
be certified for graduation until you complete all of your
course requirements. However it is possible to participate
in the Commencement Ceremony if you complete all of your requirements
by August 31. If you wish to participate, you may file an early attendance
application along with your Intent to Graduate Application, which
may be obtained and completed at the graduation office at the Brighton
Campus or at the student services office at DCC. This should be done
during the first week of May. When making this request you will need
to provide the Graduation Office with a paid schedule for the courses
for Summer Session that will complete the requirements for your degree,
and have a minimum GPA of 2.0. |
