Graduation and Commencement

 

Graduation

Graduation is the official completion of your program and conferral of an academic degree. In order to graduate, students must apply for graduation using CUNYFirst the semester before the semester of their planned graduation and complete any outstanding requirements by the stated deadlines.

Commencement

Commencement is the celebration of graduation – or impending graduation – usually held prior to a degree being conferred.

There are two ceremonies celebrating graduation:

The School of Education ceremony is a separate celebration from Hunter College’s commencement ceremony. You are invited to participate in both, depending on your graduation date. For questions on the School of Education’s Graduation Celebration, please email soeceleb@hunter.cuny.edu.
