"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.
