For most students, you need to tell us you're graduating. Then we do our part: we'll package everything together to confer your certificate|degree to make it all official. This is called the "Petition to Graduate" process. For some students earning certificates this process is automatic.
Petition for Degree / Certificate Under Student Quick Links, select "Apply to Graduate." Students may complete a "Petition for Degree / Certificate" at any of our Student Enrollment and Services offices or you can download a form from the Admission Forms section of our web site.
Students can login to their CougarWeb account and get an instant verification certificate provided by NSC by choosing the "Enrollment Verification" link in Student Quick Links.
To change your major, log into your CougarWeb account and under the Home Tab select REQUEST CHANGE OF MAJOR. Select the Catalog Year and a Program and hit Submit. You will receive a response via your Collin email account or you can run Cougar Compass Audit to see if the change has been made.
Applying for Graduation To access the application, students should log in to CougarWeb and select "Apply to Graduate" under the Student Quick Links section. Upon submission of the form a confirmation page will be displayed and students will receive communication regarding graduation via their CougarMail account.
In a graduation ceremony for a college or university, the presiding officer or other authorized person formally confers degrees upon candidates, either individually or en masse. However, some graduates may physically receive their diploma later at a smaller college or departmental ceremonies, or even through the mail.
Collin College will refund tuition and fees for courses from which the students drop or withdraw in ance with law and related provisions adopted by the Board and published in the College catalog and in any other appropriate College publication.
Students receiving a grade of 'F' may repeat the course with benefits one time. If it is necessary to repeat the course a third time, the student must first successfully complete the course and then request the Collin College Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs Office complete the certification.
What is the refund policy? To receive a 100 percent credit of tuition and fees, you must drop your class before the first day of the term or part-of-term for your class. As of the first day of the term or part-of-term, partial refund deadlines begin.
Students are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress while enrolled at Collin College. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is defined as maintaining a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
