Graduation Ceremonies
What is Graduation?
Graduation is the term we use when you have finished all of your required courses and have been cleared to receive your degree. Graduation is not the same thing as participating in a graduation ceremony.
Graduation Ceremonies
Ceremonies are held only in April. Spring/Summer and December graduates are invited to attend the April graduation ceremonies. Find more information regarding current graduation ceremonies.
