“Graduation” and “commencement” are related terms, but have slightly different meanings.
Regardless of whether or not you participate in commencement, you can graduate once you fulfill all requirements for your degree or certificate.
You apply for graduation by filling out the online Application for Graduation found on the AC Portal>Student Tab>Student Forms page. Degree evaluations can take 2 – 4 weeks to process. Once your degree evaluation is complete, you will receive an email notification from the Registrar (scox@angelina.edu) regarding approval or denial. This email will be sent to your AC student email address.

A student may meet the degree requirements as outlined in the catalog current at the time of first admission or as outlined in any subsequent catalog published before the date of graduation, provided the student meets the degree requirements not later than three years from the date of the catalog selected. The College confers degrees in December, May, and August of each academic year.
Diplomas are mailed to the address provided by you on your graduation application and typically arrives within 7-10 days after the end of the term (Spring graduates) or the first week of Spring term (Fall graduates).
Official Transcripts are available within 48 hours of the end of the semester. You can request to have your transcripts sent to transfer institutions before grades are posted and they will be delivered once the term is over.
