Due to technology constraints, official transcripts sent from outside institutions may be delayed in processing. However, if your institution offers an electronic service this may be a faster method for us to receive and process official transcripts at this time.
Graduation is as Easy as 1-2-3
To apply for graduation:- Make sure all official transcripts (if applicable) from outside institutions you have previously attended are submitted to Admissions and Records.
- Check your graduation status with a counselor to ensure you meet all of your graduation requirements. Contact the Counseling Center to make an appointment, or use "e-Counseling" to verify you meet all graduation requirements.
- Submit your application for graduation to the Admissions & Records office before the deadline dates listed above. The earlier the better!
Graduation Evaluations
Approximately 2 weeks after your graduation application is submitted you will receive an official evaluation via email which shows your status for graduation. Attached to your evaluation will be a letter explaining how to read your evaluation and the graduation process. At the end of each term, final grades are processed by the Admissions & Records office approximately 2-3 weeks after the semester officially ends. At that time, your evaluation will be updated. If you have met all of the stated requirements, your degree and/or certificate will be posted to your transcript record.
What if I'm Not Ready to Graduate?
If you do not have all required course(s) either completed or in progress by the drop deadline of the semester in which you apply for graduation, you will be notified by email that your request for graduation has been deleted and you will need to reapply in a future semester. All application and drop deadlines are listed in the class schedule and college catalog, as well as the college web site.
Awarding of Degrees and Certificates
(During COVID-19 and campus closure)
Diplomas, a diploma cover, and a Commencement program are expected to be mailed to the student’s requested mailing address in August, therefore it is very important that your address is correct. To provide your preferred mailing address, please email the Evaluations Office at cuyamaca.evaluations@gcccd.edu with your preferred mailing address by July 31, 2020.
Diplomas will not be mailed until a confirmation email has been received from the student.
(Summer 2019 and Fall 2019 diplomas that have not yet been picked up will be mailed at this time). If you would prefer to pick up your graduation package in person, once the campus is open, please send a request to the Evaluations Office at: cuyamaca.evaluations@gcccd.edu
This mailing address confirmation is only for your diploma to be mailed. To officially change your address on file, you must fill out an address change form, which can be found on the Admissions and Records webpage, and submit it to the Admissions and Records Office at cuyamaca.admissions@gcccd.edu or you may update your address through your WebAdvisor account.
Note: The diploma timeline is subject to change depending on staff access to the campus during the COVID-19 closure. Students will be notified with updated information as conditions change.
Commencement Ceremony
Each year, at the completion of the spring semester, the commencement ceremony is held on campus. Please visit the Commencement page for more information.
