Graduation & Commencement Ceremony Information

1. Complete Your Program Requirements – Ensure your academic record is complete and any incomplete grades are finalized before graduation.

Things to check for:

• You’re completing the final classes required for your degree, diploma or certificate. This is a great time to check if you can confer your credits earned so far into other certificates or professional credentials.  You can reach out to our Student Services team or the Registrar’s Office with questions.
• Your credentials, degree or personal information is listed correctly. You may submit change of address here.

2. Verify Your Financial Status – Satisfy any outstanding financial obligations, that may be required, with the ACHS Business Office by calling 800-487-8839.

Financial Aid Students: Federal student loans require students to complete an online exit interview. For more details to ensure completion, please contact the Financial Aid Office by calling 800-487-8839.
If you are conferring credits for professional credentials prior to degree graduation, call to ensure that there are no outstanding balances that could delay the conferral process.

3. Apply to Graduate – Complete the ACHS Graduation Application in its entirety. In order for each program to be posted to your student record, a graduation application is needed. Please submit your application for conferral before the following deadlines:

• If Summer is your last term: August
• If Fall is your last term: December
• If Spring is your last term: April

If you miss one of these deadlines, please reach out to the Registrar’s Office at [email protected] or 800-487-8839, and we’ll be happy to help!
