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.

2026 Commencement Ceremony Information:

The ceremony will be held May 16th. Students that graduated Summer 2025, Fall 2025, & Spring 2026 will be invited to participate in the ceremony. Students that have 6 credit hours left to complete in the Summer 2026 can also participate in the ceremony.
