Requirements for graduation with an Associate Degree and/or Certificate of Achievement are prescribed by the State Chancellor’s Office and the Board of Trustees of Peralta Colleges. Degrees are conferred when the students have met the prescribed requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to file a “Petition for an Associate Degree and/or Certificate” by March 22, 2013. Students should file the petition once all course requirements are completed or are in progress. Official transcripts of any coursework completed outside Peralta District must be on file prior to requesting the evaluation or accompany the petition.
Petitions are available in the Admissions and Records Office or the Counseling Department and must be completed by appointment with a counselor. Before making an appointment to see a counselor for an evaluation to petition for graduation, you should review the overall requirements summarized on the petition cover letter to students and the degree requirements described in the college catalog.
