Graduation & Commencement
Congratulations on preparing to graduate! Commencement will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 2pm at the Peoria Civic Center. A live stream of the event will be available.
Commencement
The Commencement Ceremony is only offered at the end of Spring semester. You are invited to walk/participate regardless of which semester during the academic year you completed your degree(s)/certificate(s) requirements.
Participation in the Commencement Ceremony does not automatically ensure that a student has earned a degree or certificate. Once final grades are posted, degrees and certificates are verified to be conferred as soon as possible following the ceremony. Diplomas will be mailed to the student approximately 10 weeks after all final grades are posted.
All potential graduates should receive an invitation to participate in the Commencement Ceremony. The registration deadline has passed.
