Requirements for Certificates and Associate Degrees

CP 9-10 

Procedure

 The awarding of Associate Degrees and Certificates will be governed by the following requirements:
  1. To receive a certificate or degree an application for graduation must be filed with the Student Services Office no later than the fourth week of the term in which the student plans to graduate. Students completing graduation requirements in the summer term who want to participate in graduation ceremonies in the previous spring term must file a graduation application by the fourth week of the spring term.

Participation in the graduation ceremony does not imply that a degree/certificate has been awarded. ALL degree requirements must be met before a degree/certificate is awarded.

  1. For the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of General Studies, Associate of Applied Science Degrees, and career/technical certificates, graduation requirements are as follows. Candidates must have:
  1.  a cumulative grade point average of 2.0
  2.  no grades below a "D" among the required classes in their program
  3. earned at least fifteen (15) semester hours of credit at Morgan Community College
  4. completed an "Application to Graduate." Certain occupational programs have additional requirements. Check program layouts for specifics.

Other policies pertaining to graduation include:

  1. Morgan Community College will accept those courses in transfer which have been completed with a "D" or better at an accredited college or university or other approved institution.
  2. No remedial or developmental courses will be applicable to an associate degree program.
  3. The college reserves the right to substitute or delete course work based on current curriculum.
