Student Development Home
Gulf Coast holds one commencement ceremony each May. Students from all semesters are encouraged and invited to attend. Fall graduates must inform Donna Peterson when they apply that they wish to participate in the commencement ceremony. Summer graduates who wish to participate in the spring ceremony must apply for summer graduation by the spring application deadline date. Participation in the graduation ceremony does not guarantee graduation certification. A student does not officially graduate until the registrar's office certifies graduation. Diplomas will be mailed approximately 2 weeks after the end of each term. Students who receive a deficiency letter and do not complete their deficiency by the published date must re-apply for graduation at a later term.
