GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
How do I know if I can graduate?
Visit with an advisor, then submit your petition to graduate via MySFCC (student portal). You will find the petition on MySFCC under the Student tab then under student resources. The advisor will review it, then forward it on to the Dean for a second review, which will then be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for approval. You will be notified by email with the status of your petition to graduate which will be sent to you from the Registrar’s office.
