Steps to Graduate

The TMCC Steps to Graduate information assists TMCC students who have completed (or will be completing) all degree requirements within the semester for which they are applying for graduation for degree(s) that are not currently declared.

Note: You do not need to apply for graduation for your
declared degree if you have received an AutoGrad email/communication.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  1. Run Your What-If Report
    In MyTMCC, run a What-If report with your desired degree.
    • While you are still in the "My Academics" section of MyTMCC, click on "What-If Report".
    • Click "Create New Report".
    • Under What-If scenario, select your degree and Area of Study from the drop-down lists and click "Submit Request" on the bottom of the screen.
  2. Read Through Your Report Carefully
    You can view your remaining graduation requirements by clicking "Expand All". Requirements that have been completed, and requirements that are in progress but have not yet been completed, are marked as Satisfied.

    For requirements that have not been satisfied, you will see the options for this requirement. It is important that you confirm that you are enrolled in all remaining classes to meet your degree requirements.

    If you have completed or are currently enrolled in course work at another institution that will be used to complete your TMCC degree, it is your responsibility to have official transcripts sent directly to TMCC Admissions and Records.

    • Meet the degree residency requirement (i.e., earn at least 15 degree-applicable credits at TMCC for associate degrees and certificates of achievement, and 30 degree-applicable upper-division credits at TMCC for bachelor's degrees).
    • In order to graduate at TMCC, students are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Grade-point averages earned at other postsecondary institutions are not reflected in the Truckee Meadows Community College cumulative GPA.
    • If applicable, ensure all transfer courses appear in your report.

    If all requirements are not met, use "MyPlanner" to schedule the remaining coursework.

  3. Submit Your Application
    First, verify the application deadlines. Then submit your graduation application electronically. Note: If all requirements are not satisfied you will receive a "denial" notification from Admissions and Records. If you satisfy or will satisfy requirements for more than one degree/certificate in the same semester, you MUST complete a separate graduation application for each degree/certificate.
  4. Additional Courses
    If you plan to enroll in additional courses at TMCC in an upcoming term, please submit a new TMCC application for that term.
