Application for graduation is the arrangement for Bachelor’s degrees students. Since you are an associate degree student, there is no need for you to apply for graduation.
Late application will normally not be accepted unless you have strong justifications for the late. Please apply for graduation in the following semester/term.
To maintain an active status in order to apply for graduation without taking any courses, students should apply for a leave of absence to take effect in that semester. You are advised to observe the deadlines to avoid being charged excess tuition fees. For details, please visit Leave of Absence.
You can apply in a single application and will be awarded at the same time provided that all requirements of the two majors are completed.
You do not have to notify any particular party, but you are advised to contact your academic advisor to seek for advice/assistance on your studies.
If you are not sure whether you can fulfill all graduation requirements after receiving the transcript, you should consult your academic advisor to determine what courses you should take in the semester.
If you are confident that all graduation requirements will be met after receiving the transcript, you should take the following steps:
Apply for leave of absence in the current semester;
Apply for graduation in the current semester
and your continuation fee may be waived if all of the following conditions are met:
Graduation requirements are fulfilled;
No course registration in the current semester;
Applied for graduation during the application period;
Applied for leave of absence before the end of Week 2 in the current semester; and
Have submitted a written request to ARRO with the endorsement from the Head of home academic unit.
You may continue to study in order to meet the requirements of your second major and defer graduation to a future semester/term; but must submit another application via AIMS in the appropriate semester/term of graduation. Alternatively, you may apply to change your academic curriculum by dropping the second major/change the second major to a minor (if appropriate) by using this application form and submit it before the deadline. Upon approval of the curriculum change, you may graduate in the designated semester/term.
If you have fulfilled all your degree and home major requirements; and want to drop your minor in order to graduate in this semester/term, you have to submit an application for changing major/minor as well as applying for graduation as soon as possible but not later than the specified deadline. Please download the application form and submit the completed form to ARRO before the deadline as indicated on it. No late application will be accepted due to time constraints.
No. You should have reviewed your academic progress before applying for graduation. Once you have submitted an application, the only consideration is whether you have completed all requirements by the end of that semester/term. Your application will be dropped only in case that your curriculum requirement cannot be met.
