Applying for Graduation

Find the criteria, deadlines, and steps you’ll need to complete before applying for graduation.

Application for Graduation

An “Application for Graduation” must be submitted by the deadline shown in the College calendar to graduate or walk in an upcoming graduation. Students should obtain a “Program Evaluation” from their Advisor, along with a signed Graduation Application (link below), to submit to the Registrar’s Office by the deadline. Students who do not submit graduation applications on time may not be graduated and cannot participate in graduation ceremonies, so it is important to submit on time. Students who miss the deadline should still contact their Advisor as soon as possible to complete an application and determine what options may be available. Late applicants may have a waiting period for the posting of graduation on the student’s transcript and the processing of the credential.

All college financial obligations must be met.

The maximum transferrable credit from another institution and the total allowable credit from all outside sources (including LCC’s Continuing Education not-for-credit courses) is seventy-five percent (75%). Twenty-five percent (25%) of the credit hours, or 9 credit hours (whichever is greater), is required for graduation and must be earned through Curriculum (CU) for-credit instruction offered by Lenoir Community College.

Required courses and electives must be completed in accordance with one of the programs listed in the catalog with a major grade point average of at least 2.00.

A Commencement Ceremony is held once a year at the end of each spring term. Students who completed a program that spring, the previous fall, or the previous summer will be allowed to participate. Participation is not required but is encouraged. Graduates will be mailed their diplomas within a month after the end of the term.

Duplicate or replacement curriculum diplomas can be ordered free of charge by completing the Duplicate Diploma Form and faxing or mailing to the Registrar’s Office.

Students graduating from the High School Equivalency Diploma or Adult High School programs must contact Transitional and Career Studies at 252-527-6223, ext. 738 for more information. Graduates from these programs will be mailed their diplomas.
