Automatic Degree and Certificate Awarding
At Allan Hancock College, we are proud to offer automatic degree and certificate awarding—a streamlined process that ensures students receive their earned credentials without the need to submit an application. Auto-awarding occurs when all program and college requirements have been satisfied, allowing students to focus on their academic and professional goals while we take care of the rest.
We are also excited to announce an enhancement to this process. In addition to Hancock students with credits exclusively earned at our institution, we now extend auto-awarding to students who have earned external credits from a select group of our top feeder schools. More information can be found on our FAQ page.
This initiative reflects our commitment to making the pathway to academic success as seamless as possible while recognizing the valuable contributions of coursework completed at the following partner institutions:
If you have attended one of the listed colleges and meet all degree or certificate requirements, you may qualify for this streamlined process. We encourage all students to check their eligibility and consult with a Hancock counselor for personalized guidance and support.
