Graduation FAQs
Graduation applications for each semester are available by at least the beginning of that semester, if not earlier. Apply for the semester in which you will be completing your degree or certificate requirements. You can apply for graduation through myBLINN by clicking on the "Apply for Graduation" icon.
You can review your degree status by logging into myBLINN or talk with an advisor if you have any questions about the requirements.
The Graduation Office reviews graduation applications throughout each semester. Depending on the number of applicants for that semester, it may be a couple of weeks before you receive a graduation status email.
Please note: the week of graduation in each semester is a busy time as we prepare for the graduation ceremony and other end-of-semester duties. Students who apply for graduation during this time may experience a delay in having their application reviewed.
The Blinn College District honor graduates have reached the three highest levels of academic achievement while earning two-year associate degrees. The distinction of Summa Cum Laude is bestowed upon those graduates earning an overall grade point average of 4.0 to 3.9. Magna Sum Laude is awarded to those graduates with grade point averages of 3.89 to 3.70. Cum Laude graduates are those with grade point averages of 3.69 to 3.50.
Honor graduates are recognized in the printed graduation program, based on their last calculated grade point average. The program is printed before the current semester’s final grades are turned in by the instructors.
The Blinn College District does not provide cords or stoles to honor graduates. The title of honor graduate is not printed on diplomas or transcripts.
Graduation applicants for Spring or Fall who are on track to graduate during their respective semester will have their name printed in the program if they meet the application deadline. Summer applicants who plan to attend the Spring ceremony will be listed in the Spring program if they meet the deadline. All graduates from the prior Summer graduation will be listed in the Fall graduation program. The deadline is typically 3 weeks before the ceremony to allow time for editing and printing of the program. Please refer to the Ceremony Information for the specific date.
You may invite as many guests as you would like, and we do not issue tickets or reserve seats. However, seating is limited. If your guests need assistance with seating requirements, please contact the Disability Services Office (979-830-4157) at least two weeks before the ceremony so that arrangements can be made.
