Commencement
Commencement is different than graduation.
Commencement refers to the formal ceremony that celebrates the completion of your educational journey at IVCC. Participation in the Commencement Ceremony is optional and is free for all participants.
Graduation signals the completion of the requirements for a degree or certificate. You must apply for graduation in order to have it posted on your academic record. More details at www.ivcc.edu/graduation.
