Preparing to Graduate

Students are advised to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for their last semester to confirm that all of their degree requirements are met. Students must declare an intent to graduate once they register for their last semester of classes.

The graduation application is completed online and must be submitted by the posted deadline.

NOTE: The LSSC diploma and transcript will reflect the Associate in Arts degree without a specific designated transfer major.

Before planning to transfer, students are advised to:

• Meet regularly with an academic advisor to monitor progress toward A.A. completion
• Consider which program and university you wish to pursue
• Consult the catalog or specific department website pages for that university to confirm which specific courses should be taken at LSSC
• With the help of an LSSC Academic Advisor, design a specific academic transfer plan for your intended university major including appropriate course sequencing
• Contact the transfer services office at the transfer institution to obtain information relating to application deadlines, transfer policies, financial aid opportunities, and other available assistance
• Plan to meet and/or exceed the admission requirements for the university and program
• Complete the A.A. degree and prerequisite courses prior to transfer
• Apply to graduate with the A.A. degree by submitting a graduation application by the posted deadline.
