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 www.cochise.edu/advising/graduation. Students should notify an academic advisor of any change of name or address that occurs during the application process period.

Degree earning students wanting to participate in the annual commencement ceremony should review information on cochise.edu/advising/graduation to determine deadlines. If students miss the application deadline their name may not appear in the commencement program.

For certificates, students can file an application at any time during the semester they are completing the requirements for their certificate.

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.
