Application for Graduation
Students anticipating the completion of a program from Laredo Community College must apply for graduation to receive their degree/certificate. Students must have a degree audit processed by the Office of Admissions and Registrar’s staff prior to the student's last semester. Students are urged to share the degree audit with their advisor. During the degree audit process, or during the final semester of study, the student should apply timely according to deadlines of the awarding period. Degrees and certificates are awarded three (3) times throughout the academic year. The deadlines to apply for graduation are as follows:
Fall - November 1st
Spring - March 1st
Summer - July 1st
Commencement exercises are held annually during the Spring semester. Students who are graduating during the current Spring semester and who graduated the prior Fall and Summer semesters are encouraged to participate. Students must notify the Office of Admissions and Registrar’s before March 1st of their intent to participate in the ceremony.
