Graduation

Iḷisaġvik College issues certificates and degrees to graduates at the end of fall and spring semester of each year.

Applying for Graduation and Commencement 

Students completing degree and certificate programs and wishing to graduate will need to apply for graduation by filling out the Application for Graduation form at the Registrar’s Office (even if the student decides not to participate at the commencement).

Following verification that the program requirements have been satisfactorily met, students will be invited to participate at the annual commencement exercises. See the academic calendar for dates for when to apply. Applications for graduation filed after the deadline are processed for graduation the following year. We invite all students who complete requirements during the academic year to participate in the annual commencement ceremony in the spring.

Catalog Year

Students who wish to earn a certificate or degree must either meet the requirements specified in the catalog in effect at the time of admission to the program, provided their enrollment has been continuous, or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation.
