Graduation
Degrees and certificates are not automatically awarded (except Pathway Certificates) to those that complete their program requirements. You must apply to graduate.
Degrees and certificates are awarded at the conclusion of each term. To receive any degree from UCC, you must maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average, attend UCC for two terms (including the last), and complete at least 25 percent of the program requirements at UCC.

Second Degree or Certificate
If you are earning a second associate degree, you must complete a minimum of 24 credits in addition to those completed for the first degree. If you are earning a second certificate, you must complete a minimum of 12 credits in addition to those completed for the first certificate. You will only be charged once for the graduation application fee.
Pathway Certificates
UCC automatically awards Pathway Certificates upon completion of requirements at the conclusion of each term. To opt out of an automatic award of a Pathway Certificate, submit a completed Graduation Application Change Request (with the OPT OUT box checked) to the Registrar's Office in the Laverne Murphy Student Center.
