Commencement is truly a cherished and celebratory time to cap off your academic career.
Participating in Commencement
Knowing the difference between graduation versus commencement helps students navigate the end of their academic career at Santa Clara. Graduation is the successful completion of all course and unit requirements. Graduation eligibility and diplomas are managed by the Office of the Registrar. Graduates must petition to graduate to participate in Commencement, which is the end-of-spring ceremony celebrating the students who have or will graduate. The Commencement Office coordinates the in-person ceremony. An online request form to participate in Commencement will be made available for eligible students in Spring Quarter.
