Petition to Graduate
Graduating Students – Your achievements are very important to us. In collaboration with the Academic Counseling Office, we are now accepting the Petition to Graduate through the Counseling website. No appointment required. Simply submit the online form and a Counselor will review your information and submit your information to the Admissions & Records Office on your behalf. If you have already submitted a petition through your academic counselor, you do not need to submit another request.
Petitions will be accepted through the academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). Students may submit a graduation petition as follows:
- For Winter and Spring petitions: November 1 through the end of Spring Semester.
- For Summer and Fall petitions: May 1 through the end of Fall Semester.
- Deadlines for commencement participation will be posted below under Commencement Ceremony.
Resources
All students who submit a graduation petition prior to the April 15, 2023, deadline for Spring 2023 will be invited to the commencement ceremony and have their name listed in the commencement program. If you had received a degree for Summer/ Fall 2022, or Winter 2023, you will be invited to the commencement ceremony as well. More information on the ceremony will be available at a later date during the spring semester.
Please note: Participation in the graduation celebration or ceremony does not guarantee the degree will be awarded. You will be invited to the ceremony based on your petition submission. Your educational coursework will be evaluated by an academic counselor and a graduation evaluator to determine if you have earned the credits required to grant the requested degree.
Students must have final official transcripts from all colleges outside the LACCD, AP scores, and high school transcripts to be used toward the degree on file by July 30 for the transcript to be processed and reviewed for Spring graduation. If transcripts are received after the deadline, it may delay the posting of your degree to the next term.
Once the term has ended and all final grades for all classes have been received, the Graduation Office will begin evaluating final grades and posting degrees. For students that meet all the requirements by the end of any given term, degrees and certificates will be posted within eight (8) weeks after the final grades are posted for any given term.
