Meeting graduation requirements is ultimately the responsibility of the student. Students are encouraged to work with their advisors in selecting courses to meet their educational objectives.
Students must apply for graduation before the deadlines published by the Student Services Department. Diplomas and certificates are mailed six to eight weeks after the end of the semester in which the students are approved to graduate.
Commencement ceremonies are the culmination of the student’s program of study. Each spring, Trinity College conducts a graduation ceremony where faculty, staff, family and friends come together to recognize academic achievements. All eligible degree and certificate candidates are encouraged to participate in commencement activities.
If the student has six credit hours or less to complete, the student is eligible to participate in graduation ceremonies. The student must submit a written request to the Department Director for approval early in the Spring semester.
Requirements for graduation for degree/certificate programs include:
- Successful completion of both the general education courses and the specific major courses with the degree/certificate curriculum plan
- Compliance with all special requirements listed by the individual program
- Achievement of a satisfactory cumulative grade point average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale)
- Satisfaction of all financial obligations
Standardized Testing
In order to support success on the NCLEX-RN Examination, to improve test-taking skills, and to provide additional feedback on student academic progress, various standardized exams are scheduled in both ASN and BSN curricula. The test scores may be included as a portion of the appropriate final course grade.
Graduation Requirements for a BSN Degree
