Graduation Steps

    At the end of each semester, the North Harris Montgomery Community College District awards diplomas to students who complete their degree/certificate requirements. Many students who plan to transfer to a university choose to satisfy the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at NHMCCD as a part of their four-year plan. Additional information can be found in the NHMCCD catalog.
