Congratulations!
You have achieved major educational goals and will soon be graduating! Cochise is happy to have been part of your educational journey.
Graduation vs. Commencement
Graduation is the official confirmation of your degree or certificate which is awarded once you’ve completed all requirements. Remember, you need to apply for graduation to have your degree or certificate noted on your official transcript. GED recipients do not need to apply for graduation.
Commencement is our celebratory ceremony held annually in May for all degree, certificate, and GED recipients.
When purchasing graduation regalia be sure to let the College Bookstore know if you are earning a degree, certificate or GED.
