AA/AS Credential Application
Important Information:
This form should only be used if you are graduating with an AA or AS degree.
If you are graduating from one of our technical programs with an AAS, Diploma, or Certificate students MUST meet with their academic advisor to complete a graduation application, obtain signature of advisor, as well as an attached updated plan of study. Once this process is complete, the advisor or student should submit to the Registrar by the designated deadline for the semester.
Progress to Degree

You will receive an email only if there are questions regarding your degree application.
