GraduationA graduation ceremony is held in May of each year.
You are eligible for graduation when requirements for graduation and certification have been fulfilled. When you begin your final semester prior to graduation, you must complete an application for graduation. The application will be certified by your program advisor and forwarded to the Registrar's Office, where the appropriate diploma will be prepared. Graduating students may be asked to participate in outcomes assessments. To graduate with an associate in science degree, an associate in applied science degree or a technical certificate, you must:
Attain a minimum grade point average of 2.00 in the required technical and general education courses;
Earn 15 credits as a regular student of Ivy Tech, rather than by test-out or other means of advanced placement;
Successfully complete the required number of credits;
Satisfy all financial obligations due the college;
Satisfy program accreditation standards that may have additional requirements.
Honors recognition at the commencement ceremony is based on the student's cumulative GPA from the Fall semester. Actual honors recognition will be recorded on the student's academic transcript posted with the degree earned.
