I am a Spring 2013 Grad. When Will I Receive My Diploma?

Students graduating in Spring 2013, who have met ALL graduation requirements, your diplomas will be available for pick-up after the August 2013 Board of Trustees meeting, which at this time is scheduled for August 8th. The reason for this is:

·    ALL grades have to be entered and posted. Anticipated date this year: June 7th.
·    The bulk of reviewing degree audits for requirement completion is completed in June/July.
·    We have 100+ degree audits to review to ensure students met their spring 2013 requirements.
·    After reviewing them, VP of Student Services reviews each one and signs off on them.
·    They are then posted to the student's transcript which is a multi-step process.
·    Diplomas are printed and sent to the Board of Trustees for signatures.
·    Student Services generally receives the diplomas on the Monday after the BOT meeting and then begins calling/emailing students to notify them their degrees are available for pick-up.

PLEASE NOTE: At other colleges, this process can take up to 6 months.

Holds on Records and Registration

Students are expected to be responsible for all of their financial obligations to the college. Failure to return library books or other college property or equipment, failure to pay fees or student loans, and failure to reimburse the college for checks written on insufficient fund accounts will result in a hold being placed on student records. Students with record holds will not be provided with copies of transcripts, final grades or enrollment verifications until the hold is cleared by the office from which it originated.

College of the Desert & Copper Mountain College Transcripts

From 1967 to 1999, Copper Mountain Campus was a branch campus of College of the Desert (COD). Copper Mountain College (CMC) began separation from College of the Desert in 1999 and CMC was accredited by the Western Associate of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2001. Students who completed coursework at CMC between 1999 and 2001 were under WASC accreditation given to CMC through COD.

Some unusual transcript situations arose from decisions made during the separation of Copper Mountain College from the College of the Desert. Under agreements made during the separation process, a few students may have the same coursework recorded at both colleges. Students who began attending Copper Mountain College in 2001 or later will only have a CMC transcript; attendance both before and after 2001 will usually be fully contained within the CMC transcript.
