This is not an automatic process!

Mid way through your last semester of coursework, you must apply to the Office of Admissions and Records to receive your certificate or degree.

Students receiving certificates or degrees are also eligible to participate in Saddleback's May Commencement Ceremony and preceding CDES Department Celebration!

To participate in the Commencement Ceremony you must file a request by the Middle of March with Admissions and records (this is not the same form as the request for certificate or degree) The form becomes available on the A & R web site sometime in January.
