Graduation Application FAQ

SCC Graduation Application Form

The only way to graduate is to submit the SCC Graduation Application form. Spokane Community College wants you to graduate, and we are here to help. Please contact the Transcripts Office if you need help with this form; they can be reached at 509-533-7001, transcripts@scc.spokane.edu, or in person the Transcripts Office in Building 15.

Students who wish to use transfer credits or are currently completing coursework at another institution to fulfill program requirements (including Spokane Falls Community College) must send an official transcript to transcripts@scc.spokane.edu. 

Your student ID, contact information, and program title can all be found though ctcLink for students in your student homepage under My Profile.
