Steps for Graduation
It is strongly recommended that students submit a Petition for Graduation two terms from their anticipated term of completion. (For example, spring term graduates should apply during fall term). CCC does accept Petitions for Graduation up until the sixth week of each term to graduate during the current term.
Students can petition for graduation online in Self-Service. Use the Graduation Overview module to submit the form, or download the Petition for Graduation form and turn it in to Graduation Services. After you submit your Petition for Graduation, Graduation Services will be in touch with you via your @student.clackamas.edu email address with more information.
Contact gradservices@clackamas.edu if your program of study needs to be updated or you have any questions about petitioning to graduate.
If you want to waive or substitute a course for a program requirement, please work with the Department Chair of that program to submit a Request to Waive or Substitute Course form.
What is the difference between Graduation and Commencement?
Graduation is when a student is awarded a certificate or degree once they have satisfied all certificate or degree requirements as verified by the Graduation Services Office. After the verification process, the certificate or diploma is printed, mailed and posted to the student's CCC record. The mailing and posting process for certificates and diplomas usually takes 6 to 8 weeks after term grades are recorded.
Commencement is a ceremony that allows students, family and friends to celebrate in the student's academic accomplishments. Participation in the ceremony does not mean the student has graduated and students do not receive their certificates or diplomas at the ceremony.
