Graduation Application Procedures
Students may apply for graduation by scheduling a counseling appointment to submit an application for graduation. The student may elect to be either a fall graduate or a spring graduate, depending upon the completion of all necessary graduation requirements; however, formal graduation ceremonies are conducted only at the conclusion of each academic year. The deadline dates for submission of graduation applications are printed in the Oxnard College schedule of classes. If for any reason a student fails to submit an application prior to the published deadline, he/she may submit the application for the following graduation period.
The Executive Vice President of Student Learning shall make determinations regarding major requirements and general education. The Dean of Institutional Services shall be the arbiter when questions of interpretation arise concerning courses from other colleges and universities, lower division transfer requirements, major requirements, and all other questions which may arise involving graduation.
It is the responsibility of the graduating student to process the application for graduation through a counseling appointment and then file it with the Admissions and Records Office. Applications can be made for graduation in the spring, summer, or fall terms. Filing should be completed during the term the graduating student is completing the final classes required, no less than eight (8) weeks prior to the completion of that term.
