Our evaluators developed this chart that shows our local AA/AS degrees that a student can earn with an ADT degree. This information was shared with Counselors in early Fall 2018.
NOTE: Currently our policy does not allow us to double count any General Studies degree with any other degree.

Student makes an appointment to meet with a Counselor for a review of their program requirements.
Student submits their Petition to Graduate by established deadlines for fall/spring/summer.
College Evaluation Team reviews their graduation petition for degree/certificate requirements.
Student & Counselor are notified by mail of their graduation status (complete, in progress, eligibility for a different degree/certificate if not meeting the program requirements for the major they requested, etc.)
