Graduation
Form: Graduation Application
Diplomas and/or degrees are awarded to those meeting the requirements of the College in a commencement ceremony held at the beginning of Winter, Fall, and Summer quarters. Each student must complete a graduation application. Graduation applications may be picked up in the Registrar's office at any time. Although it is the student's responsibility to complete an application for graduation, the student's advisor must sign the application verifying that course requirements have been met. Graduation application deadlines are the first week of April, first week of July, and the first week of October.
Upon receipt of the graduation application, transcripts will be evaluated to determine successful completion of program requirements, including proof of high school diploma or GED.
In order to be eligible for graduation, each student must satisfactorily complete the program of study as outlined by each department and according to the standards established by the Technical College System of Georgia. All obligations to the college (fees, library books, etc.) must be cleared to qualify for graduation.
All diploma/degree program students must achieve regular program admission status prior to applying for graduation. A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 is required for graduation. Any student who has completed all courses in a program with less than a 2.0 grade point average is not eligible to graduate with a diploma, but may choose to receive a transcript. It is hoped that all students eligible for graduation, and those who have completed programs of study since the previous graduation, will participate in the graduation ceremony. ALL diplomas will be mailed after commencement exercises.
Students who have any questions about the graduation procedure should contact the Registrar for more information at (770) 537-5720.
Student Transcripts
Printable Form: Transcript Request (.PDF)
Online Form: National Student Clearinghouse (Online Transcript Order Form)
Students may obtain an unofficial transcript of their records by completing a Request for Transcript form available in the Registrar's office. Official transcripts are sealed in school envelopes with the school seal. Student copies are stamped “Unofficial Transcript.” The school will not release copies of student transcripts without written permission from the student. Each student is entitled to one transcript free of charge. Additional copies will cost $5 each. Though transcripts are normally issued promptly, requests should be made several days before the document is required. A transcript will not be issued if a hold has been placed on the student's record, financially or otherwise, by the college. (The transcript form attached above can be downloaded, printed, completed and returned to the registrar's office. You cannot submit this form electronically. An original signature is required.)
Change of Name/Address
Form: Change of Status
Students may update their address information with the College by using one of the following methods:
Completing and printing the on-line address change form, then mailing or faxing it to the Record Services and Registration Office.
Filling out an address change form at the Office of Student Affairs on any WCTC campus.
Requests must be signed by the student. Address change requests received via e-mail cannot be accepted at this time. For further information about address changes, contact the Registrar's Office.
Technical Education Guaranteed
If an employer finds a student to be deficient in specific competencies listed in a standard curriculum within two years of graduation, the student will be retrained at no instructional cost to the student or employer.
