Graduation Requirements

The Registrar’s Office will complete a degree audit of all graduation requirements for each student before the student is certified as a candidate for graduation.

All approved course substitution requests, transfer credit evaluations, non- traditional credit documents/approvals, and official transfer transcripts must be on file in the Student Affairs office before a student can be certified as a candidate for graduation.

To qualify for graduation, a student must meet the specific program requirements outlined in the curriculum in effect when the student enrolls, graduates, or changes majors and must meet the following requirements:

1. Earn at least a 2.0 (C) in each course in the major and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on all courses that are to be used toward the award..
2. Earn at least 25 percent of the hours needed for the certificate/diploma/degree in residence at Central Louisiana Technical Community College, of which 9 must be in the major field of study.
3. Earn no more than a total of 30 credit hours toward an Associate of Applied Science degree or Technical Diploma from non-traditional sources, with no more than 12 non-traditional credit hours toward a Certificate of Technical Studies.
4. If a program requires a course but the course is no longer available or a course substitution cannot be made, completion of the total number of credit hours required in the program being following is mandatory.
5. Fulfill all other obligations and regulations including financial obligations to the College prior to established rules.

6. If a student changes their program of study or major, if the program of study selected upon entry has been changed, or if the student does not remain continuously enrolled at CLTCC, the student must use the catalog in effect at the time of program of study on return to CLTCC.
