Applying for a degree

To be awarded a degree, all requirements must be completed by the end of the semester.

Auto-Awarding Degrees

Allan Hancock College has developed a program that auto-awards degrees.  If DegreeWorks shows you are at 98% completed with your degree, you will receive an email approximately 5-weeks into the semester confirming auto-awarding.  The email will list all eligible degrees.  You may speak to a counselor for verification.  

To be eligible for auto-awarding, you must:

  • be currently taking classes at Hancock
  • be eligible for degree(s) requirements using the current catalog year

If you do not meet the above criteria, you are required to meet with a counselor to apply for your degree.  


I have transcripts from another college/university, AP, CLEP, IB, or military credit.

  1. Submit all official transcripts to our Admissions and Records Office for a course-to-course evaluation.
  2. Wait for an email verification from the Admissions and Records Office confirming your transcript has been received and evaluated.
  3. Schedule a counseling appointment for a thorough degree evaluation.  A counselor will ensure all your degree applicable credit will be inputted into DegreeWorks.
