Your Next Steps
Log onto WebAdvisor and select ‘Program Evaluation’. Select one of the programs assigned to your academic record (obviously the program you applied for graduation). If you aren’t assigned to the appropriate academic program you should contact counseling@hfcc.edu or registrar@hfcc.edu to request a change of program. The Program Evaluation tool in WebAdvisor is the same tool the Registration and Records staff use to evaluate your record for graduation. If you need assistance with reviewing your evaluation, we recommend that you contact the Counseling Office at (313) 845-9612 or consult your program Director.
Please keep in mind the following information when reviewing your academic evaluation:
- If you have completed developmental courses, only 6 credits from these courses will count toward your degree.
- If you have a substitution or waiver it will be considered after the semester ends and the Registration and Records Staff perform your final evaluation.
- Courses marked ‘CRSE HIST’ will not populate in the appropriate fields until your final evaluation is performed.
Timeline
Diplomas are mailed twelve weeks after the end of the semester for students who do not owe the College a balance.
Commencement
The Commencement Ceremony is held once per year in May. Associate Degree graduates from the preceding August and December class are invited along with potential May degree recipients.
You must be measured for a cap and gown to participate in Commencement. This tells us you want to participate in Commencement. If you already have a cap and gown, you still need to be measured; however, you do not need to purchase the cap and gown when it arrives. The fee is paid if the order is picked up.
Official diplomas are not distributed at commencement. Diplomas are mailed twelve weeks after the end of the semester.
HFCC holds the right to deny participation in Commencement if eligibility for graduation is not met.
