Graduation application

I never applied to graduate in my final term, what do I do?

If your program is still active in myCamosun, you can still apply to graduate; if it is not, email credentials@camosun.ca.��

The ‘Apply’ button does not appear in the Graduation Application, what do I do?

The ‘Apply’ button only appears during the posted Graduation Application periods:

• Fall term: November 15 to December 31
• Winter term: March 15 to April 30
• Summer term: July 15 to August 31

If you’re eligible to graduate, during the Graduation Application period, but see 'You must be registered in all required courses to submit an application,' email credentials@camosun.ca.

I can’t submit my application, what do I do?

• The ‘Graduation Term’ is a required field. Select the active graduation term from the drop-down menu.
• The ‘Preferred Name on Parchment’ is a required field. Enter the name you wish to be printed on your parchment. Email credentials@camosun.ca if your name exceeds the 120-character limit (including spaces).
• The ‘Ship to preferred mailing address’ and ‘Ship to a different address’ fields may not support longer addresses such as international addresses. Email credentials@camosun.ca for help.

Only the active application term will appear. Please select this term, regardless of when you previously completed your program.

What is the ‘Preferred Name on Parchment’?

The ‘Preferred Name on Parchment’ is the name you choose to be printed on your parchment. Ensure it is correct before submitting your application.��Replacement parchments for name corrections are $50 each.

How do I format my mailing address in my graduation application?

You can edit your application and mailing address anytime during the application period. For changes required outside the application period, please email credentials@camosun.ca.��
