Graduation and Diplomas
Almost at the finish line? Graduation is the official completion of your degree program and conferral of an academic degree. This is not to be confused with Commencement, the ceremony typically held in June to celebrate graduates.
To graduate you must have the below requirements:
- Completion of the minimum number of credits for the degree as registered with the New York State Education Department (NYSED).
- Completion of all general education common core courses and completion of all courses in the program of study as registered with NYSED except where substitutions or waivers have been granted.
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00.
- Successful completion of at least 30 degree credits at Guttman Community College.
For specific graduation requirements in your degree, please check DegreeWorks.
If you are eligible to graduate at the end of the current term, our office will put you into In Review graduation standing. Guttman students don’t have to apply for graduation. To see if you are eligible to graduate at the end of the term, check your Guttman email for communication with our office.
Degrees are awarded four times a year. Check the Academic Calendar for degree conferral dates. The degree conferral date is the date in which the degree will be posted or awarded to the student’s records after successfully completing all graduation requirements. Note that this is not the date when diplomas are to be picked up.
Diplomas
We have teamed up with Parchment to safely and securely provide both a digital and physical diploma. With Parchment, you will have access to a digital diploma, and your paper diploma will be mailed to the home address listed in CUNYfirst. Digital diplomas will be available to claim, and paper diplomas will be issued to be mailed out 3 weeks after the conferral date. Check the academic calendar for conferral dates.
Physical diplomas will be mailed by Parchment via USPS. Diplomas are issued with the legal name on your CUNYfirst record at the time of graduation application. If there is a discrepancy, complete and submit a Personal Data Update form (found on our Forms & Applications page).
Lost your diploma? Request a replacement diploma for $30 through your Parchment account and select ‘Order Your Replacement Diploma”. For more help on ordering a replacement diploma, watch this Perchment video.

Waitlist Information
What can I do if the class I need is closed?
Answer: You can place yourself on the waitlist! This won’t guarantee you a seat in the class you select, but if one becomes available and you’re the next eligible student on the waitlist, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the course.
You will not be automatically enrolled in the class if:
- You haven’t fulfilled the requisite(s) for the course, or if this enrollment will exceed the credit limit for the session.
- The class has a time conflict with one of your other classes.
- There is a hold on your account that prevents registration.
- You have previously taken the class (including transfer credit received for this course). Please consult with your advisor if you are repeating the class.
- You’re already enrolled in another section of the class.
- You exceed the allowed number of waitlisted credits, or the number of enrolled credits allowed for session 2.
How can I waitlist a class?
Answer: When you add the class in Schedule Builder, check the box for “Wait list if class is full” under the Options column.
Are there different options to waitlist a class?
Answer: You have the option to waitlist a closed class by itself or to waitlist with a condition of dropping a currently enrolled class for the same session. Note that when selecting to waitlist with a condition to drop, if a class seat in the waitlisted class becomes available, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the waitlisted class and automatically dropped from the class with the condition to be dropped/withdrawn. You’re responsible for all financial implications of being automatically dropped/withdrawn from waitlisting with condition to drop. Be sure to check the academic calendar for drop/withdraw deadlines and check with your Financial Aid advisor before selecting this option.
How many waitlists can I have?
Answer: Sessions 1 – 2 courses Sessions 2 – 1 course
Can I place myself on multiple waitlists for different sections of the same course?
Answer: No, you can’t place yourself on multiple waitlists for different sections of the same course. Since you’re only allowed to waitlist one section of a class, you should make sure that the section you select best fits your schedule.
If I’m registered for one section of the class, can I place myself on the waitlist for a different section of preference for the same class?
Answer: No, you can’t place yourself on a waitlist for another section of a course you are already registered for the class.
When I place myself on a waitlist, how do I know when I am registered for the class?
Answer: You’ll automatically be registered when a class seat becomes available, and you’re the next eligible student on the waitlist and have fulfilled all requirements for the class. Students are responsible for monitoring the status of their waitlisted courses. You WILL NOT be notified if you get a seat from the waitlist. Check the Academic Calendar for the last day to opt into a waitlist. You must attend class meetings as soon as you are enrolled in the waitlisted class.
NOTE: It is advisable that if the waitlisted class is still closed on the first day of classes, to waitlist another class. Most instructors won’t be able to approve students into a closed class because of the classroom capacity limit. There’s no guarantee that the instructor will give permission to allow you into the class if enrollment is reached.
How long can I stay on the waitlist? What happens if a seat never becomes available and I don’t get into the class?
Answer: You’ll remain on the waitlist until the evening of the last day to waitlist into a class. Check the Academic Calendar for the last day to waitlist into a class for the session. All waitlists for the session will be closed the day after the deadline and you’ll be removed from any outstanding waitlists for that session. If you waitlisted with the condition to drop, and your waitlisted class doesn’t become available, you won’t be dropped from your enrolled class.
Can I remove myself from the wait list?
Answer: Yes, you can remove yourself from the waitlist through Schedule Builder if you no longer want to be enrolled in the class. You’ll be able to drop yourself from the waitlist just like you would drop from a regular class.
How can I check my status on the waitlist?
Answer: To check your status, log into CUNYfirst and navigate to Student Center > Course Planning and Enroll > View My Class Schedules. Make sure “Show Waitlisted Classes” is checked off. The status and position of your waitlist will appear under each course’s “Status” and “Waitlist Position”.
Will I be charged tuition for the class on the waitlist?
Answer: No, the waitlist class is not an actual registration. Only if you’ve been auto enrolled in the class will you be charged tuition.
