A student will be eligible to graduate either (1) by completing the degree requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment within four calendar years, or (2) by completing the requirements in effect at the beginning of the last continuous (summer quarter excepted) enrollment, or (3) by completing the most recent requirements in effect during the quarter of graduation.

A candidate for a degree may include courses newly approved to meet degree requirements even though the course approval comes after the credit has been earned.

In instances in which changes in professional degrees and certificates make the above guidelines inappropriate, the respective division, working with the individual student, shall determine which degree requirements to follow.

Matriculation Policy

CCS policy limits liberal arts students to two years of study or the completion of 90 credit hours, exclusive of physical education. Students who exceed these limitations will be admitted at the discretion of the Academic Standards Committee. Admission is based on the availability of space, faculty, course offerings, grade-point average and changes in the student's educational objective.

Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree students are limited to the normal length of time required to complete their professional objective. Any extension beyond this period of time is subject to review by the Academic Standards Committee.

Articulation Agreements

Articulation Agreements ensure that the programs you complete at SFCC are transferable to other institutions toward a degree. Following is a sampling of four-year institutions with which SFCC has obtained articulation agreements. You can view the articulation agreements at the Community Colleges of Spokane Web site.
