All outstanding obligations to SUNY Orange (tuition, fees, books, etc.) must be satisfied before your diploma or certificate will be released.

All diplomas will be mailed to the address that was provided on the Graduation Application. Please notify the Registrar’s Office at registrar@sunyorange.edu if you have had a change of address.

Request for Duplicate Diploma: If at any time your diploma is lost or damaged, you can order a duplicate diploma. Please note the duplicate diploma will be ordered with the same name as your original diploma.

An overall cumulative 2.00 GPA is required for all degrees. For an AAS degree, a 2.00 GPA in major courses, either cumulative or in each course, is required in addition to the overall 2.00 GPA requirement.

If you are anticipating receiving transfer credits in order to complete graduation requirements at SUNY Orange, you must have completed a “Permission to Attend Another College” form. This form is reviewed by the Registrar's Office and indicates if SUNY Orange will accept the course(s) in transfer. All official transcripts need to be received by the Registrar’s Office no later than 7 business days prior to the graduation date.

Applying for graduation does not include participation in our one Commencement Ceremony held in May. Please visit the Commencement page for more detailed information about how to sign up to participate in the ceremony. You will be receiving commencement information from the Office of the Vice President for Student Services. For questions about the ceremony, please contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Services at (845) 341-4000 or email dolores.jones@sunyorange.edu

Check your E-mail!  All correspondence in reference to your graduation application status will be communicated via SUNY Orange email. Please check your email for important information and possible required action to be taken by you. Any questions should be directed to registrar@sunyorange.edu
