Graduation Application
It is the responsibility of the student to complete the application for graduation. Graduation application forms are found online at Student Forms. The student should complete this form with the assistance of his/her professional or academic advisor. Completed forms are submitted to the Student Accounts Office, which forwards the application to the Registrar’s Office. See the Craven CC Graduation Procedures page for more information and graduation application deadlines.
Students may graduate at the end of the term in which they complete degree requirements. The graduation fee is paid to the Student Accounts Office. All graduation fees are non-refundable. Diplomas and certificates are mailed to the student from one to three weeks after the end of the graduation term.

Students must complete all coursework and graduation requirements by summer of the graduation year to participate in the ceremony. A student anticipating a summer graduation must be within three (3) courses of meeting the graduation requirements in the summer term to participate.
