Graduation Requirements
Upon recommendation from the faculty, staff, and chief executive officer, students who meet the general requirements and curriculum requirements of a program will be granted the designated degree or certificate. It is the student's responsibility to know and follow the requirements of the curriculum and the rules governing academic work. No official or faculty member can relieve a student of this responsibility.

To graduate, all students must:

• Successfully complete all of the prescribed requirements in the selected program of study.
  
  
• Earn the required number of hours for the degree or certificate.
  
  
• Earn a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or better for all work.
  
  
• Clear all school accounts and records.
  
  
• Earn at least sixteen (16) hours of college-level credit at Illinois Eastern Community Colleges for a degree. For a certificate, sixteen (16) hours of college-level credit or 50% of the hours required, whichever is less, must be earned at IECC. Department of Corrections programs are exempt from this requirement.
  
  
• Make application for graduation and pay the required fee.
