The most exciting accomplishment for a student at Mt. San Antonio College is to graduate.
To ensure your graduation proceeds in the smoothest possible manner, become familiar with the following steps:
- Submit a Graduation Petition by the deadline for the semester in which you plan to graduate. For example:
- The deadline to petition for graduation in December is the end of the 7th week of the Fall semester. Winter session deadline is the same as the Fall semester.
- The deadline to petition for June is the end of the 7th week of the Spring semester. Summer session deadline is the same as the Spring semester.
- Be sure the form is completely filled out.
- If you are seeking to substitute a course completed at another school or one course for another, you need to petition for a variance with the appropriate department/division.
- All transcripts from other colleges or universities must be either included with the petition or on file in the Admissions Office. If transcripts are not on file with Admissions, the petition will be returned to the student.
- It is advisable to receive a "grad check" from the Advising Center prior to submitting the petition.
- Submit or mail the petition to the Admissions Office at Mt. San Antonio College.
What Happens to My Petition After I Turn It In?
Petitions are reviewed during the semester in which you plan to graduate. Students are notified by mail of the results of that review. Most students are enrolled in their final semester when the petition is submitted, so once grades for that semester are recorded a final review of all graduation petitions is completed. This step may take several weeks depending on the number of petitions to be reviewed.
When Will I Get My Diploma?
It usually takes at least three months from the end of the semester for the diplomas to be processed by the college. Diplomas are mailed to the address on file with the college. If you have moved recently, please contact the Admissions Office to update your address information.
Commencement Ceremony
Mt. San Antonio College holds one commencement ceremony a year, at the end of the Spring semester. Fall and Winter graduates are encouraged to attend the ceremony and participate in this event with Spring Graduates in June. Summer session prospective graduates are also invited to participate in the June commencement ceremony.
