What is the difference between Graduation and Commencement?

Graduation is the official confirmation in the College’s records that all degree requirements have been met, and the degree is conferred. To graduate from PCCC, you must submit a graduation application by the required deadline.

Commencement is the formal ceremony that celebrates your graduation.
