Students planning to complete their RMC degree requirements in May 2026 or Summer 2026 (September conferral) must submit the Notice of Candidacy (NOC) for Graduation on MyMaconWeb by November 12. Only students with an approved NOC for spring or summer 2026 may participate in the May 2026 graduation ceremony. Those finishing in Fall 2026 or January 2027 will be invited to the May 2027 ceremony.

You can access the NOC form by logging into MyMaconWeb (MMW) and navigating to Academics > Student page > Notice of Candidacy for Graduation under Student Requests. If already logged in, you can access the form directly here. 

Important steps and guidelines:

• Advisor approval is required for your NOC. Before submitting, review your degree progress with your advisor using the degree audit and transcript on MMW. You must register for all remaining degree requirements prior to submitting your NOC.
• After submission, your advisor will receive a notification to approve your NOC. Once approved, you cannot drop or withdraw from courses without permission from the Registrar.
• After advisor approval, the NOC will be reviewed by your department chair/program director and then forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for final review. You will receive an email confirmation when your NOC is received.
• Any approved course substitutions must be communicated by the department chair/program director using the Course Substitution Form on MMW.
• Register only for courses needed to complete your degree; do not register for extra courses you plan to drop later. An accurate schedule helps advisors and the Registrar assess your progress and minimizes schedule changes.
• Make sure you have met or are registered to meet all graduation requirements listed on your degree audit. Note that requirements differ for students matriculated before Fall 2023 versus Fall 2023 or later.
• After receiving your NOC, the Registrar will review your academic record to confirm eligibility. You will receive an email with one of the following outcomes:
  • You are academically eligible for graduation if you complete your current courses.
  • You have outstanding issues to resolve before becoming eligible.
• Please allow several weeks for this review; you will not receive immediate confirmation after submitting your NOC.
