An application for graduation must be completed and submitted to the Admissions and Records Office prior to receiving a degree or certificate.

Important Information

See Foothill-De Anza Board Policy 6120: Graduation Requirements.

Students should regularly perform a degree audit through DegreeWorks to monitor academic progress in reaching educational goals and meeting graduation requirements. In the quarter preceding the quarter in which a student plans to graduate, a detailed review and comparison of completed  coursework should be done. This will allow time to make any necessary schedule changes. Students may seek assistance from a counselor/adviser as needed. Degrees are awarded at the end of all terms.
