Graduation eligibility is determined by the Graduation Office.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Students who successfully complete the Arts and Sciences program will earn the Associate in Arts degree, Associate in Engineering,\u00a0Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts degree or Associate in Science degree.\u00a0 The Associate in Applied Science degree is awarded to students who successfully complete a two-year Applied Science programs. Diplomas and certificates are available in many of the Associate in Applied Science programs.<\/p>\n For most programs, a student is eligible for graduation when they have satisfied the specific requirements of the college and the program for which they are enrolled, completed a minimum of 25% of required hours in the program at Rowan-Cabarrus, and have earned a program grade point average of at least 2.0. Students accepted into programs with competitive entrance requirements may have to meet other graduation criteria.<\/p>\n Students continuously enrolled may graduate using the catalog under which initially enrolled or the current catalog (please contact the Graduation and Credential Advisor<\/a> if you want to change your catalog year). As outlined in Maintaining an Active Record<\/a>, a\u00a0student\u2019s record will be made inactive if they do not enroll for two consecutive terms (summer term excluded). If a student\u2019s record is made inactive, the catalog year will be updated based on the semester the student returns.<\/p>\n It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they have met all program and course requirements to earn their degree, diploma, and\/or certificate. A minimum of 25% of the total number of credit hours required for graduation in a specific program must be taken at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. No more than 75% of required credit hours can be accepted as transfer credit.<\/p>\n Students who earn a grade-point average of 3.5 through 3.99 in their degree or diploma will graduate \u201cWith Honors.\u201d Those students who earn a 4.0 in their degree of diploma will graduate \u201cWith High Honors.\u201d These designations are printed on degrees and diplomas. All courses required in the student program must be completed with a grade of \u201cC\u201d or higher to be eligible for honors.<\/p>\n Students who earn Honors or High Honors in their degree or diploma will be provided with a gold cord to wear at the Commencement Ceremony.\u00a0 Certificate programs are not eligible for graduation honors or gold cords.<\/p>\n Commencement is held at the end of spring semester. To participate in the Commencement Ceremony, you are expected to successfully complete your program requirements:<\/p>\n Participation in the Commencement Ceremony is not an indication of meeting graduation requirements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Students planning to participate in the Commencement Ceremony<\/a> must attend the Graduation Fair<\/a> to pick up tickets, cap, gown and tassel. Commencement is held at the end of the Spring semester. The specific dates for graduation activities are listed in the academic calendar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These questions and more will be answered during our Countdown to Cap and Gown: Graduation Information Session. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend and learn more about our processes, the upcoming ceremony and issuance of award documents.<\/p>\n\n
