Graduation and Commencement
Congratulations, graduates!
Graduates from Fall 2023, Winter 2024, and Summer 2024 are invited to join us on Friday, May 3, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. in the Dr. Thomas Quinn Event Center.
Students who have applied to graduate will receive an email from the Registrar’s office outlining how to order regalia in February of 2024.
Do you know the difference between graduation and Commencement?
Graduation is the actual awarding of a degree or certificate. They are awarded each semester (Fall, Winter and Summer). The graduation and diploma dates are always the last day of the graduating semester.
Commencement is the ceremony honoring those receiving degrees and certificates.

The process of preparation for graduation and commencement can be confusing. Visit our Steps to Graduate page for a detailed step-by-step guide.
Will I be able to keep my KMail after graduating?
Yes, you will continue to have access to your account as long as Kirtland continues to use Google as their email server.
