Graduation
Graduation is defined as completing all credits necessary within an academic program to earn a Cincinnati State bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree, or certificate.
In order to earn a bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree, or certificate from Cincinnati State, you must:
- Complete course requirements according to your program’s degree audit curriculum as published in the College Catalog.
- Attain at least a 2.0 cumulative and program grade point average (gpa).
- Completion is defined as earning the grade A, B, C, D, or S for any course. An earned D may not count toward graduation, depending on program and/or division policies.
Students who expect to graduate at the end of a semester should submit the Petition to Graduate eForm before the end of that semester. This eForm lets your program chair know that you are expecting to graduate. Your program chair or academic advisor can respond to any questions you may have about your degree or certificate completion.
For information about our annual Commencement ceremony in the Spring, please visit the Graduation and Commencement page.
Commencement, also known as the graduation ceremony, is the event where graduates are recognized for their academic accomplishments in front of family and friends. Participating in the Commencement ceremony does not automatically mean a student has earned a degree or certificate.

I moved from Kentucky or Indiana to Ohio. Why am I being charged out-of-state charges?
As a resident of Kentucky or Indiana, your tuition bill will state “Out-of-State Tuition.” However, based on tuition reciprocity agreements, you will pay the in-state tuition rate if you live in one of the applicable counties in Kentucky or Indiana.
I am a veteran and I am being charged out-of-state fees– why?
It may be that at the time you applied, you indicated on your application that you had not lived in Ohio for one year or more. As a veteran, you are entitled to in-state tuition as long as you meet requirements for the Ohio GI Promise. Please complete and submit to the Registrar’s Office an Ohio GI Promise Residency form, a DD214 form, and either a copy of your lease or deed, or a copy of your Ohio Driver’s License.
Why am I being charged a supplemental fee for a class I dropped on the first day of the semester?
A supplemental fee is charged for some courses because of special materials and/or equipment a student may use in that course or in a set of related courses. If you did not receive the materials/equipment, go to the Associate Dean for the academic division that offers the course, and request a credit to your student account equivalent to the supplemental fee.
If I drop a class or withdraw from all classes, will it affect my financial aid?
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid before you make adjustments to your schedule to find out how these schedule changes could affect your financial aid.
How do I know what classes I need to take?
Contact your academic advisor to discuss the classes you should take for your degree or certificate program.
