APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION & COMMENCEMENT
Candidates for graduation must complete an application for
graduation in order to receive their diploma. Students who plan
to participate in one of the Annual Commencement Ceremonies
indicate their intent on the application for graduation. There
is no graduation fee. Students who plan to receive more than
one degree, diploma or certificate need to complete a graduation
application for each program. Candidates for graduation should
submit their applications to the Credentials/Graduation office
at the Ankeny Campus or the Student Services Office at the other
DMACC campuses by the following dates:
- Fall - October
1
- Spring - February

- Summer - February

Commencement Ceremonies for Ankeny, Urban, Newton,
Carroll or Boone)
- Summer - June 1
|
Students who graduate at the
end of Fall, Spring and Summer terms are invited to participate
in the Annual Commencement Ceremonies in May. Students who
do not complete requirements for graduation in the term which
they have applied must submit a new application.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS
Students who earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.5
or higher in courses applied to their program of study will
graduate with honors. Honor students may wear a gold cord
at the commencement ceremony. Their distinction will be noted
in the printed commencement program and recorded on their
final transcript.
DIPLOMAS
Diplomas are mailed to students approximately three to
four weeks after final grades are posted. Students seeking
degree verification may request a copy of their transcript
showing the degree awarded and date granted from the Academic
Records Office. Transcripts may be ordered prior to the end
of the term to be sent once grades and graduation status are
finalized. There is no charge for transcripts to students
who are currently enrolled. |
