Academic
Regulations
Shoreline’s academic
regulations are an ongoing concern of the Faculty Senate and
the college governance structure. As such, any of the following
requirements are subject to periodic review and possible change.
Graduation Regulations
To receive a degree
or certificate from Shoreline Community College, a student must:
1.
Satisfy all specific program and general college requirements
as stated in the college catalog that was printed for the academic
year that the student began that specific degree/certificate
program at Shoreline, provided that the catalog used is not more
than 10 years old at the time of the student’s graduation.
However, for programs that have selective admission (e.g., Dental
Hygiene, Nursing and Automotive), students must satisfy both
the prerequisite and program requirements in effect at the time
they first attended Shoreline Community College, provided that
was within the past 10 years.
2. Achieve a minimum
2.0 grade-point average for all Shoreline Community College course
work and all courses accepted in transfer from other colleges
which are used to satisfy degree requirements. The grades from
these transfer credits will not be averaged with the Shoreline
Community College GPA, and therefore, transfer credits must also
average 2.0. An exception is that the Certificate of General
Studies has an overall grade-point average requirement of 1.75.
3. Earn from Shoreline
at least 25 of the credits being applied toward the degree or
certificate.
4. Submit an official
transcript to the Shoreline Admissions Office for each college
from which transfer credit is to be applied to the Shoreline
degree.
5.
For a degree, earn at least 60 credits (63 for the AAS Option
A Degree) with numerical grades rather than “P” (Pass)
grades.
6. Be in attendance
at Shoreline at the time final credits toward graduation are
earned. However, students who are short no more than 10 credits
toward a degree or certificate after leaving Shoreline Community
College may be able to arrange, on a case-by-case basis, to transfer
those credits back to Shoreline from another accredited institution.
Contact the credentials evaluator in Records at (206) 546-5841
for more information.
7. Satisfy all general
and specific requirements of the
college,
including fulfillment of financial obligations and removal of
any financial holds on the student’s records.
8.
File an application for a degree or certificate in the Registrar’s
Office.
Students
who are eligible for a degree may submit a graduation application
during their last quarter or the quarter preceding. Degrees will
be awarded on a quarterly
basis.
Graduation Ceremony (Commencement)
Students
who have graduated during the previous fall and
winter quarters will be invited to participate in the annual
spring graduation ceremony, along with all applicants
for spring and summer quarter graduation.
In order to be included
in the ceremony, applications for spring and summer must be received
by the second week of April.
