Easy Instructions:
-
- Go to Academics under your Student Center and click on “Apply for Graduation”.
- If you are not currently attending (OR do not see the link in your account) and you wish to apply for graduation, please reach out to the KCC Graduation team at: online-graduation.filing@kbcc.cuny.edu to request assistance in reactivating your record (OR if attending, activating the link), and then continue the online filing process.
- Alternate method of request: Contact your academic advisor for assistance should the link be missing. The advisor will then contact the Graduation Registrar directly to provide the online link to you.
Kindly take note of the following important point of information:
Please be aware that your curriculum (plan) in CUNYFirst must match the plan that you wish to earn your Kingsborough degree in. You will not be eligible for graduation if the curriculum (plan) you have been taking courses in does NOT coincide with your official plan as listed in CUNYFirst. For example, you cannot be evaluated for an Accounting degree if your official plan on file is Liberal Arts. All requests that do not follow this guideline are denied with no exceptions.
In order to earn a degree, you will need to meet the following general requirements:
-
- Be matriculated during your last term of attendance at Kingsborough.
