Degrees and Graduation Application
A student may earn a Bachelor of Arts degree at The College of Idaho with a major chosen from a variety of fields. Although a student may have more than one major, it is not possible to earn two Bachelor of Arts degrees simultaneously.
Candidates for graduation in spring or summer of any year must make formal application in the Registrar's Office not later than May of the preceding year. Candidates for graduation in fall or winter must make formal application no later than the February of the preceding academic year. Candidates for graduation under dual-degree programs must make formal application not later than October of their junior year.
Students may qualify for graduation under the catalog of any year in which they are matriculated (degree-seeking) and regularly enrolled, provided the catalog listing the requirements went into effect no more than six years prior to the year of graduation.
Earning a Second Degree
Alumni who wish to earn a second baccalaureate degree must complete at least 30 credits beyond their first degree and complete an additional major in the process. These students may choose to be governed by the catalog under which they originally graduated, or any subsequent catalog, provided the catalog chosen went into effect no more than six years prior to the year in which the second degree will be earned. Once the major requirements are completed and the 30 credits earned, these students will have posted to their transcripts a second baccalaureate degree and will be issued a second diploma. Students seeking a second degree are eligible to apply for federal loans.
