How do I submit my application for graduation at Green River Community College?

I'm planning ahead and thinking about graduation even though I'm just starting. How do I apply for graduation when the time comes at Green River Community College?

Congrats on thinking ahead about graduation! Here's the process you would go through at Green River College:

First, you'll want to meet with an academic advisor to complete a degree audit and confirm that you're on track to graduate as expected. This is recommended about two quarters prior to your expected graduation date.

Next, you'll submit an online graduation application through the Green River College student portal. Typically, this is done during the quarter preceding the one in which you plan to graduate. The deadline to submit the application usually falls a few weeks into the start of the final term.

In the online application, you'll provide your current mailing address and any name changes, and specify whether you wish to attend the graduation ceremony. You'll also have to indicate your intentions for purchasing or renting a cap and gown for the ceremony.

Once you've submitted your application, the college will notify you of the status of your application. If approved, the graduation office will provide you with further steps to prepare for your graduation.
