Associate Diplomas are awarded to recognize the achievements of students who have completed two years (60 credits) of academic work, of which at least 30 credits must have been completed at UCC.
Associate status will be of particular value to students who do not subsequently complete a degree program at a university, or who enter the work force for a period of time before transferring to a university. Associate Diplomas are also intended to encourage people to pursue learning as a means of self-enrichment and lifelong development.
