Jefferson Community College welcomes and encourages eArmyU students to participate in its annual commencement ceremonies. Commencement is held annually in May.

Here's how:

Once you are within 9 credit hours of completing your degree, Jefferson Community College will ask you to fill out the Application for Degree form and return it by a specified date.

Upon receipt of the Completed "Application for Degree" form, the College will perform a degree audit and notify you of your eligibility to participate in commencement ceremonies. At this time, you will also be provided with a graduation checklist explaining the details related to ordering graduation announcements, cap and gown, tickets, etc.

Once degree requirements are completed and verified and you become a graduate, Jefferson Community College will mail your diploma and a copy of your transcript directly to you. If you participate in the commencement, you will receive a diploma cover during the ceremony and your actual diploma and transcript will be mailed to you following commencement.
