Graduation Application Process

Students can apply for graduation to have their degree(s) or certificate(s) officially awarded on their college transcript. Graduating students can complete and submit the online graduation application at https://www.cochise.edu/student-resources/academic-advising/graduation/index.html.

Students should notify an academic advisor of any change of name or address that occurs during the application process period.

Degree and certificate earning students wanting to participate in the annual commencement ceremony should review information on https://www.cochise.edu/student-resources/academic-advising/graduation/index.html.to determine deadlines. If students miss the application deadline, their name may not appear in the commencement program.

Diplomas and Certificates of Completion are mailed after final grades are processed, and records evaluated and posted to official transcripts. Students should ensure there are no encumbrances or holds on their college account to avoid delays in distribution of their transcript, diploma or certificate.

Additional copies of student credentials (Certificates or Diplomas) can be requested through the Cochise College Graduation Technician’s office for a fee. For more information contact: graduating@cochise.edu. In accordance with Policy 4013, the college reserves the right to award degrees and certificates of completion to students who have not submitted an on-line graduation application.
