-
Graduation is the term used to describe when a student has completed all requirements and his/her degree has been officially posted to the academic record.
-
Commencement is the annual ceremony in which eligible students participate. Participation in the commencement ceremony does not constitute official graduation from the University. Read more about commencement.
