Students who have completed a minimum of 45 credits toward their major will be contacted by the Office of the Registrar regarding their expected graduation date through their RCBC email. Students who choose this option must still meet all other graduation requirements listed above. Graduation is the process by which your degree is officially awarded in our system after successfully completing all program requirements.
Commencement refers to the ceremony held once per year in May and December where students share their academic accomplishments with their relatives, friends and college family.
Graduates will receive an email to their RCBC email account with information regarding the ceremony. We also offer several certificate programs. Click here for more details about all our program selections. RCBC knows students have busy lives and we are taking care of everything. We will email your status to your RCBC email account, or you can log into your BaronOne student account and reviewing your program requirements. Please be aware that all requirements and graduation status are subject to a final review from the Office of the Registrar and mistakes in Program Evaluation language do not replace the degree requirements published in the college catalog.
The Office of the Registrar staff will be continually reviewing your account to make sure you are in the right graduation. The name on your diploma will be your legal name in our system.
If you would like to officially change your legal name, you will need to complete and sign a Student Record Change Request form and provide the appropriate official documentation to the Office of the Registrar.
