Graduation Process
The process through which a degree is granted to learners is called the Graduation Process, and it might take two months. To start this degree conferral process, learners must formally apply to graduate by rolling out an application form and paying the required Graduation Fee (see Learner Fees & Financial Resources) as soon as the term in which they intend to graduate opens.
Graduation Requirements
Florida Coastal University learners must begin the Graduation process by filing a Petition for Graduation and must successfully fulfil the following requirements:
1. Complete all the required courses for their degree program.
2. Complete the language requirement as specified on the language track.
3. Earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0
4. Full all financial obligations to Florida Coastal University
Learners are responsible for making sure that the Academic Dean and Registrar offices have received all necessary paperwork. A Learner’s graduation date could be postponed until the conclusion of the next term if all graduation requirements are not met.
Graduation Ceremony & Degree Graduation Date
Professional programs will use the date of their official commencement ceremony as the date of graduation. This date will appear on both the transcript and diploma as the official date of graduation, as required by professional accreditation guidelines.
Graduation Ceremony
Learners who wish to have a graduation ceremony can opt to come to the Florida Coastal University offices for a private graduation ceremony. If for any reason a degree needs to be reprinted due to loss, etc. there is a fee for replacement (see Learner Fees & Financial Resources).
