Dallas College holds an
annual commencement ceremony at the end of the spring semester to honor the previous fall’s graduates and spring and summer potential graduates.
IMPORTANT:
Students must have a graduation application on file by midnight on the Friday before Spring Break.
For students completing their degree or certificate requirements during the spring semester: submit a graduation application for spring semester.
For students completing their degree or certificate requirements during the summer term: submit a graduation application for summer. (Students are eligible to participate in the ceremony if they plan to complete their remaining requirements during the summer and no more than nine credit hours remain at the end of the spring semester).
**** The graduation application should be submitted for the correct degree or certificate you are completing and for the correct term you are completing your degree or certificate requirements. Meet with your success coach to ensure you are completing the graduation application correctly.
****
Submitting a graduation application is not the same as confirming your participation in the annual graduation ceremony. You must submit a graduation application even if you do not plan to participate in the annual commencement ceremony.
Commencement is only ceremonial and does not confer the right of a degree upon a student. Students must complete all remaining requirements before a degree or certificate is awarded.
Participation in commencement is optional.
Students eligible to attend the graduation ceremonies will receive an email in late March with additional information. If you have questions, please email
