Graduation is the act of completing all program requirements so that UMGC can award you a degree. Please note that all students who have completed their program must initiate the certificate/degree award process by applying for graduation by the stated deadline for each term.
Commencement is the ceremony recognizing graduates who have earned an associate, bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. Visit the Adelphi Commencement microsite for all the details about our stateside commencements.
