When you are ready to graduate, it is helpful to follow the right steps so everything goes smoothly. We've prepared a graduation checklist to help you prepare.

The college also offers a computerized degree audit, and it is one of the most helpful ways to measure your readiness to graduate and/or transfer. Degree audit is a free service from the advisement staff and takes less than five minutes. Your degree audit printout will include the courses you've completed and what courses you still need to graduate. You can request a degree audit anytime you are meeting with an adviser. You can also access a degree audit through KCConnect under program evaluation.

The next commencement will be May 17, 2008. The first day to file for 2008 graduation is Oct. 29, 2007. See the academic calendar for other important dates.
