checkApply for your degree on CUNYFirst: March 15-April 15

If you will be done with all your classes this June (and are not taking any summer classes), apply for your degree on CUNYFirst, March 15-April 15.  After you apply, you will be added to our mailing list to receive an email at the end of April with further instructions regarding the graduate salute.  If you are having difficulties submitting an application, contact the Registrar at online-graduation.filing@kbcc.cuny.edu or stop by their virtual office Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm via Zoom:https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0of-mqrzojGt2IykwgOIYP-PBxZ-MPfvxe 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • There are no exceptions to the dates for applying for a degree; if you miss the deadline, you will need to wait for the following filing period.
  • Students should not file for consideration of a June degree if they are completing their coursework during the summer.  No one registered for summer courses should submit an application for a June degree.  Students who submit a June graduation application and are found to be registered for summer will be contacted by the college to immediately request that application be withdrawn
  • Early filing of an ineligible application for a June (spring) degree does not mean automatic reactivation for summer.  All students who file a graduation application and are not approved for graduation must refile.
  • Students must apply for their degree in order to officially graduate from Kingsborough.  Participation in the Graduate Salute does not signify graduation. It is merely attending the ceremony.
     

checkValedictorian Selection

Students who have achieved a GPA of 4.00 and have no more that 12 transfer credits to Kingsborough will be invited to apply to be Valedictorian.   To qualify, students must also have completed their course work in August 2020, January 2021, and June 2021; those taking summer 2021 courses will not be able to apply.  Eligible students will be contacted via email (to the address on file in CUNYFirst) shortly after April 20, 2021.  If you believe you were eligible but were not contacted or if you have questions about the process you may contact Valarie Matta at vmatta@kbcc.cuny.edu  or 718-368-6558.
