Diplomas

"Graduation" is the act of receiving a diploma or degree from a school, college, or university. Coastline College confers degrees and certificates to students who have officially and successfully completed all graduation requirements, including a petition to graduate.
"Commencement" is the ceremony to celebrate students who successfully completed all graduation requirements. Coastline’s annual commencement is scheduled at the end of each spring semester, and an RSVP is required from students to participate.
Congratulations, Graduates!
We celebrated the accomplishments of Coastline College's Class of 2023 at the Annual Commencement Ceremony on Friday, June 2, 2023. More information can be found in Student Life: Commencement.
