Graduation Evaluation
The Graduation Evaluation section of the Registrar’s Office processes students’ Applications for Graduation for the current semester, communicates with these graduation candidates regarding their degree status and commencement activities, makes approved adjustments to students’ CAPP reports, performs the final degree checks, prepares for the fall and spring commencement ceremonies, and orders and distributes diplomas.

Fall 2009 Graduation
The deadline to apply for Fall 2009 graduation was August 28, 2009.
Fall graduation candidates will be mailed a CAPP Compliance Report that will indicate any discrepancies with their graduation status in September. The deadline to clear or explain discrepancies to the graduation evaluation section of the Registrar’s Office is October 2, 2009. Failure to clear or explain any discrepancies (not met) on the CAPP report will result in being removed as a candidate for graduation. It is your responsibility to acquire, read, and understand your CAPP Compliance Report in its entirety.
Graduation Policies
All graduation candidates should be aware of basic degree requirements, in particular the following policies:
1. Students who have repeated courses, either at Metro State or in transfer, may show more credit than can be applied to degree requirements. Only the grade for the last attempt of the course will remain on the student’s academic record. Students are responsible for reporting this to the Office of the Registrar and failure to do so may negatively affect their ability to graduate.
2. A minimum of 120 semester hours, along with all other requirements for a degree, is required to graduate.
3. The honors designation is calculated twice: once for the commencement ceremony; and again at the end of the final semester for the official designation. For the complete policy, click here.
