Graduation

Graduation marks the completion of your academic program at San Antonio College and includes both the formal awarding of degrees or certificates and the optional commencement ceremony. Whether you are preparing to apply for graduation, planning to participate in commencement, or looking for post-graduation resources, this section provides the information you need to move confidently to the next step.

Applying for graduation is required to receive your degree or certificate. Students are responsible for submitting the graduation application by the published deadline and ensuring all program requirements have been met. Diplomas are mailed after final grades are posted and degree requirements are confirmed.

Participation in the commencement ceremony is optional and separate from the graduation application. Students who plan to participate must follow published registration and regalia guidelines.
