Degrees and Certificates are not automatically awarded. Students MUST complete an Application for Graduation to be considered for a degree.
Graduation is actually receiving a degree from The College of Southern Idaho. A student is graduated from the college only after completing all degree or program requirements, completing a graduation application, and paying all outstanding fees.
Commencement is the graduation ceremony. It is a celebration of accomplishments. Students are not required to walk in the commencement ceremony, nor does it guarantee graduation. It is important to make sure you meet with your program advisor to confirm all requirements are being met.
Meet with your Academic Advisor to review your Graduation Degree Audit Report. If you are ready to graduate, all requirements should show as "met" or "in progress."
A degree audit is the process of checking your records to ensure you have met all requirements for graduation. This includes making sure transfer courses and substitutions have been properly applied. See the Office of the Registrar if you have any questions.
Students should apply for graduation the semester prior to degree/certificate completion.
