I moved and have not updated my address. What happens to my Diploma?

It is the graduate’s responsibility to update their mailing address as soon as possible.  Graduates should verify their mailing address in your ACES student portal and make necessary edits using a biographical change form.  The biographical change form is located at ngskmc-eis.net/spc/records. Please update your address immediately.

I participated in the ceremony, does that mean I graduated?

No!  Commencement is the celebration whereby public recognition is received for months and years of a student’s hard work.  Graduation is the process involved in conferring a degree.  Commencement is the public celebration whereby a graduate’s accomplishments are recognized.

If I apply for graduation but do not graduate, why can’t my graduation application be used for the following semester?

Students who did not earn a degree are required to resubmit an application because the advisor must assure degree requirements have been met.

What if I want to purchase an additional diploma?

Students may re-order diplomas at any time.
