WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO APPLY?
By completing a graduation application, students are confirming their intentions to graduate; opting in/out of ceremony participation and announcements; and initiating a review with the registrar to be certified for a degree. Responses to applications are shared with the following stakeholders: registrar, advisors, department chairs, college events.
GRAD DEADLINES & WHAT’S NEXT
Winter Graduates| Apply by Nov 21 (11/21)
- A finalized applicant list will be shared with college events for participation eligibility to Winter celebration upon deadline close.
- All degree requirements must be completed by the end of Block 4 (including any I or IP pending grades) for degree conferral.
- The official conferment process begins in Block 5.
Spring Graduates| Apply by Apr 18 (4/18)
- A finalized applicant list will be shared with college events for participation eligibility to Spring Commencement upon deadline close.
- All degree requirements must be completed by the end of Block 8 (including any I or IP pending grades) for degree conferral. See "Marching Only Eligibility Conditions" for ceremonial participation for those who fall short of completing all requirements by end of Block 8; listed under, "Graduation Tips from the Registrar" in the section.
- The official conferment process begins in Block 8.
Applications for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 are closed.
The new applications will become available at the end of Block 2 in the Fall.
(when opened) Apply early! Even if you aren't sure you'll make it due to transitory situations (i.e. unsure of graduation progress, deciding between majors, double majoring, attempting to squeeze in a minor or an abroad program, etc.) These should NOT prevent a student from applying! In fact, applications are especially necessary for plans in flux (an application can always be removed or bumped out if intent should change).
Understand how your plans and degree progress align by taking these next steps towards graduation:
- Apply to Graduate
- Declare your major(s) and/or minor(s)
- Schedule a graduation review appointment with your advisor(s).
- Proof your Stellic record in your advising appointment as this is your first step in verifying requirements have been met. Do not ignore (red) marks as they indicate something is missing. Students should work with their advisor(s) and department chair to understand why.
- If a course should be counting in your progress on Stellic, an exception must be made.
- All requirements should reflect either completed (green) or registered to be completed (yellow) by end of Block 4 (for Winter Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads) to remain eligible for graduation.
- Students who have an incomplete Stellic record should anticipate email outreach from the Registrar to verify accuracy, resolve potential concerns, and/or to discuss options moving forward. Please do not ignore communication outreach from the Registrar’s Office as this could jeopardize an ability to resolve an issue that keeps you from graduating on time.
- Send official transcripts/reports for any pending/missing transfer work to the Registrar's Office.
- Finish remaining requirements! This includes any remaining “IP” or “I” marks on their transcript by end of Block 4 (for Winter Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads).
- If there is missing transfer credit on the student's record, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar’s Office ASAP.
- Stay informed with graduation events from the College Events office
Students must meet all degree requirements by end of Block 8 to graduate and receive a diploma. Degree requirements include: major, general education, and 32-unit. For students who are within their final two degree requirements by end of Block 8 will continue to remain eligible to participate at Commencement but will not graduate and receive a diploma until remaining requirements are finished. If you think you’ll fall in this category, please apply and reach out to our office so that we can discuss a marching only option that keeps you on the list for the Commencement ceremony.

Fall Term Check-In (TCI): 8/19 - 9/20
Term Check-In (TCI) is the formal process in which students confirm their attendance for the upcoming semester. Students at CC participate in TCI twice (2x) a year - once in Block 1 (for Fall) and once in Block 5 (for Spring). The TCI process is required for college reporting for those taking CC-taught classes this Fall. Those who are studying in courses abroad that are NOT lead by CC faculty or on an approved leave of absence for the term, are not required to complete this round of check-in.
If you are noticing a limited Self-Service Banner Menu (on or after 8/19)... you need to check-in for the term and officially report to the College that you are taking classes! You can do so by following the steps below. Once completed, know the red flag DOES NOT DISAPPEAR until the TCI open period is closed at the end of Block 1.
How to Complete Fall Term Check-In
- Student will need to log in to Banner SSB (the Student Menu will default to a restricted list)
- Click on "Term Check In" (marked with a red flag)
- In TCI, students will have the opportunity to review their obligations, update their current information including preferred name, addresses, FERPA authorization, and more!
- Once completed, close the Check-In browser tab and refresh your screen. That’s it!
What Is A "Temporary" Registration?
Temporary registrations are not official and bear 0.00 credit. Waitlists and Preregistration placeholder courses, GS391 and GS392 are considered temporary registrations. Because these are not official registrations, when final class rosters are distributed to faculty before the new block begins, temporary registrations are dropped. Students who had a temporary registration for the new block are no longer considered enrolled and must update their registration on Days 1 and 2 of the new block by using Add/Drop and an instructor's COI PIN (or through one of the applications linked below). Learn more about registration deadlines.
If you are on a waitlist and no longer want to be, please use Add/Drop to remove yourself. A waitlisted course is considered your preferred course choice. You will be moved into the vacated seat and automatically dropped from your current course registration should a seat open to you ahead of the block.
If you are registered in a GS391, this Preregistration placeholder MUST be replaced with an approved independent study or thesis course. Please make sure to replace any “GS391, PLACEHOLDER ONLY (Senior Thesis/Ind. Study)” on your schedule by completing one of the following:
Some departments handle the creation/assignment of independent blocks for their majors directly (i.e. Economics, Sociology, etc.) If you are a declared student in such a department, please make sure to follow the department's instructions on how to correctly register for your thesis and/or independent research block.Transferring Credit Into CC?
- Review Transfer Credit Guidelines for more information and additional resources
- Review Academic Residence Requirements (see section VII under GenEds / section VIII under All-College)
When Is Add/Drop Disabled?
Course adds are temporarily disabled over the weekend prior to the start of a new block. Adding a course using Add/Drop is prevented between the time when final rosters are sent to professors on Friday until the start of the new block on Monday. This is to allow all students and faculty time to plan for the upcoming block. Once a new block begins, "Adds" require the COI PIN (consent of instructor pin) to be used in the Add/Drop registration application, on Days 1 and 2 of block.
What qualifies as an "Add"?
- getting in off of a waitlist
- correcting a Preregistration placeholder
- swapping classes
- adding new classes
Students are required to use the online registration application to update their registration. Add/Drop is linked to Canvas and will update access to a Canvas page based on the registered course. Drop notifications are sent automatically from Add/Drop during the block's registration periods.
