Applying for Graduation
Students who complete or will complete 120 credits do not automatically graduate or receive a diploma. All degree candidates must file a formal application by submitting the online graduation application on MMC Connect, by the application deadline date.
Graduating seniors are encouraged to view the student's Program Evaluation on Web Advisor, under the “Academic Profile” section. The program evaluation will show all completed courses taken at MMC, transfer courses, in-progress, registered, and pre-registered courses and matches them against the requirements for a particular degree program. The program summary status on the student's program evaluation indicates the graduating senior's progress towards degree completion.
A program summary status of “In Progress” means the student has outstanding degree requirements. Students are advised to register for the courses that have yet to be fulfilled and/or ensure all pertinent documents such as course substitutions, change of major/minor/concentration form, official transcripts or exam scores from other institutions are submitted to the appropriate offices within a given timeframe.
A program summary status of “Pending(Anticipated Complete)” means the student will fulfill all degree requirements upon completion of the student's final term, assuming the student does not withdraw from any classes, changes academic program, and receive the minimum passing grade for the course(s) - excluding incomplete (INC) grades.
Students who are not completing degree requirements should not apply for graduation. It is the responsibility of students to ensure all degree requirements are met, including the completion of a minimum 120 credits. Degrees are conferred three times a year: September, February, or June.
The deadline dates to submit the graduation application are as follows:
| Degree Conferral Date |
Deadline to Submit Graduation Application* |
| September graduate |
May 15* |
| February graduate |
September 15 |
| June graduate |
November 15 |
* If the 15th day of the month falls on a weekend, the deadline date will be the following Monday on the calendar
Degree Program Changes and Graduation
Degree program changes (e.g. change of major, adding a minor/concentration, and etc) should be made only after consultation with faculty advisors since the program change could have a major impact on graduation status. Graduating seniors may not change major, minor, and/or concentration after the end of the Program Change period during final semester of study - See academic calendar for deadline dates.
Note: Once a degree has been conferred, no program changes can be made. A graduating senior who subsequently graduates from MMC cannot return to MMC and add an additional major/ minor/concentration onto the student’s academic record.
