NorQuest College recognizes learners for successful completion of program requirements by issuing official graduation status as well as credentials in the form of both transcripts and parchments.
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for establishing graduation application deadlines, reviewing student records for graduation eligibility, and issuing credentials.
Official program graduation requirements are reviewed annually and published on the NorQuest College website. Students must successfully complete all program and grade point average (GPA) requirements to be eligible to graduate. The requirements that apply to a particular student are determined by the requirements published for the year they were admitted to their program.
Residency requirement is the minimum number of credits in a program that must be taken through NorQuest College in order to receive a credential. Students must meet the course residency requirement of 50% to be eligible for graduation. Refer to Transfer Credit for more information.
Post-secondary certificate and diploma programs (excluding employment certificates) recognize the honours distinction for outstanding academic achievement. To qualify for graduation with honours, a student must have achieved an overall GPA of 3.7 or greater, with no courses having been failed or repeated. The honours distinction will be noted on the transcript and parchment of qualified graduates.
