Diplomas
Spring and Summer 2009 diplomas are now available
In order to receive a diploma, students must have been awarded an Associate Degree or a Certificate of Achievement. Submit the Application for Degree or Certificate of Achievement to the Counseling Center.
When will my diploma be ready?
For degrees and certificates awarded in the Fall semester, diplomas are available no sooner than late March
For degrees and certificates awarded in the Spring semester, diplomas are available no sooner than late September
For degrees and certificates awarded in the Summer semester, diplomas are available no sooner than late October
Where do I go to pick up my diploma?
Visit Admissions & Records, SS-110, and be sure to bring a photo ID. Diplomas will not be released if you have outstanding financial obligations to SBCC.
I am moving out of the area. Can my diploma be mailed to me?
Yes, if you complete the Diploma/Certificate Mailing Request form. Submit the completed form and a check (payable to SBCC) for the mailing fee to Admissions & Records. You may also choose to have the mailing fee charged directly to your Pipeline account. The mailing fee is $6.50 to U.S. addresses, and $10 to foreign addresses.
I earned degrees in more than one major last semester. Will I receive a diploma for each?
Multiple degrees of the same type (Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Certificate of Achievement) earned in the same semester will be printed on one diploma. There is no additional charge for mailing multiple diplomas in one order.
I have misplaced my original diploma, or need another copy. How do I request another one, and how long will it take to arrive?
Complete the Diploma/Certificate Mailing Request form and indicate that it is a duplicate request. There is a $20 fee per duplicate diploma, in addition to the standard mailing fee. Once the order has been placed, please allow four to six weeks for the diploma to arrive at Admissions & Records.
I earned a Skills Competency Award and made the President's Honor Roll. When and where can I pick up my certificates?
Admissions & Records does not process Skills Competency or Department Awards. For questions about Skills Competency Awards, contact the Student Development Department at (805) 965-0581 ext. 2203 or torres@sbcc.edu. Questions about obtaining Department Awards should be directed to the individual department.
