Graduation Application
To qualify as a graduation candidate, a "Graduation Application" must be filed with the Office of Student Records by established deadlines. There are three reasons why you need to complete the Graduation Application:
- to have your academic records reviewed to determine if you are eligible to graduate from DMACC
- to determine if you meet the Board of Nursing’s requirements for licensure.
Students must be granted the designated degree or diploma to meet eligibility requirements for licensure by the state boards of nursing. Just completing the required course work is not sufficient to meet licensure requirements. - to indicate if you will or will not be participating in the graduation ceremony
Students will receive OFFICIAL written notification of their status on meeting graduation requirements.
