Graduation and Commencement Ceremony

Commencement exercises are held each May. Students completing all degree requirements for the previous Fall or current Spring semesters are eligible in participate in commencement. Summer candidates who are within nine (9) credit hours of completing degree requirements and enrolled in the necessary courses to complete degree requirement are also eligible to participate.

If you would like your official transcript showing your Degree/Certificate Statements, please follow these directions: 

• Wait and do not order your transcript yet. 
• The Registrar's Office will send you a notification email from graduation@kckcc.edu informing you as soon as we have posted your Degree/Certificate statement on your transcript. 
• After you receive the email confirming the statement posting, then go ahead and order your transcript. 

PLEASE NOTE these two things which can delay the posting of your certificate/degree statement: 

• If you have requested any sort of deviation from your degree/certificate program and it hasn't been completed yet; 
• If the Registrar’s Office has not received all your official transcripts from your previous schools. 
• Please keep in mind that any financial obligations to KCKCC must be resolved before you can receive your transcript, diploma, or certificate. This includes tuition and graduation fees. Please contact the Business Office at (913) 288-7620 for more information. Once the balance has been paid in full and holds are resolved, you may order your transcript and your diploma can be mailed.

Diplomas will be mailed approximately 6-8 weeks after graduation.  All graduation fees and holds must be paid in full or resolved prior to the diploma being mailed. The diploma will be mailed to the address provided on the Degree Check Form you completed with your Student Success Advisor.  If you have moved since completing your degree check, please email graduation@kckcc.edu with your updated mailing address.
