How do I apply for graduation?

Students are able to apply for graduation within Self-Service:

  1. Log on to your Self-Service account.
  2. Under the Academics menus on the left side of the page, select Graduation Overview. 
  3. Click Apply and fill out the rest of the application to submit.

Here is a direct link to the application: selfservice.msjc.edu/css/Student/Graduation 

If you would like to apply for graduation under a different program than what displays, you can meet with a counselor to change your active program, update your educational plan, or add additional awards. Schedule an appointment with a counselor: msjc.edu/counseling 

Once you have submitted your application for graduation, an evaluator will review your information to confirm if you are eligible. Any notes or comments will be posted in your Self-Service account, under Program Notes on the Student Planning page. You will also receive a confirmation email.

Formal graduation activities are held at the end of the spring semester in May. Please refer to the Spring Important Dates page for the deadline to apply in order to be included in the Commencement ceremony. Students who complete degree requirements during the spring or preceding fall and summer terms are invited to participate in the commencement program. Check out the graduation page during the Spring term for more details: msjc.edu/graduation
