Application for Graduation
Applicants for both degrees and certificates must file a formal application for graduation before the deadline published in the academic calendar to be awarded a credential. The Application for Graduation is located in Owl Link, which can be accessed in the myPGCC portal. Instructions for submitting the application can be found here.
Applications are typically due by the following dates:
- February 15 for May (spring) graduation and August (summer) graduates who will complete six credits or less during the summer semester and wish to participate in the preceding May Commencement ceremony.*
- July 15 for August (summer) graduation.
- September 15 for December (fall) graduation.
All degree requirements — including the submission of the graduation application, resolution of outstanding incomplete grades, grade changes, course substitution and waiver approvals, and the awarding of transfer credit — must be completed within 30 calendar days of the degree conferral date (last day of final exams for the fall and spring semesters and the last day of classes for the summer semester). Students who complete degree requirements more than 30 days after the conferral date will be moved to the next degree conferral date.
*Students who submit their application after this date may not be included in the Commencement ceremony program.
