Graduation Information

You must fill out an Application for Degree Completion at the start of your second to last term.

An Application for Degree Completion at the Daytona Beach Campus must be submitted to the Office of Records & Registration. It is recommended your application be submitted near the start of the semester/term prior to your expected completion. This will allow time to make needed schedule adjustments for the upcoming semester/term and submit any required paperwork, for a smooth completion process. If you have questions regarding the degree completion process, consult your faculty advisor, Program Chair or Records and Registration personnel.
