Important Notes to the Student

  • Students may participate in the Associate degree commencement ceremony if they have completed a minimum of 53 units and have no more than 2 non-sequential degree requirements left to fulfill.
  • No course can fulfill more than one Liberal Education Core course requirement, except for the CC/CD “Themed Course” required for graduation. This course may be simultaneously used to fulfill a Liberal Education Core course requirement. (Please see the list of CC/CD “Themed Courses”.)
  • For any course that satisfies a specific degree requirement, the corresponding cross-listed course will also satisfy the same requirement.
  • A limit of four units from any one course numbered 279 through 299 will be counted toward the Associate degree requirements.
  • A maximum of eight total units from any combination of courses numbered 279 through 299 will be counted toward the Associate degree requirements.
  • Four or five unit courses with a compulsory, built-in lab may not be split between the general education core and concentration areas. However, a three-unit course with a one-unit optional lab (3+1) may be split between the general education core and the concentration area.
Continuous Enrollment
 
Students who did not file a graduation application and who did not submit an approved leave-of-absence form and did not maintain continuous enrollment at the College are bound by the graduation requirements of the current year catalog. If a student is within seven units of degree completion, they do not need to re-apply with the Office of Admission. Students who do not meet the degree requirements and are missing more that seven units will be required to re-apply with the Office of Admission in order to return to Marymount College.

AND CROSS-CULTURAL (CC) CORE THEME REQUIREMENT
 
Students must earn 2-3 units in a CC/CD course to meet the degree requirement.
