毕业 vs Commencement
Graduating from the University and participating in Commencement are two different things. 毕业 is when the student has officially and successfully completed all their degree requirements. Commencement is the ceremony in which degrees are conferred and celebrates the achievement of the students who have graduated or will soon graduate during the academic year.
To officially graduate from Cal State LA, students must satisfy all University, 大学, and departmental requirements for a specific bachelor’s, 硕士, or doctoral degree.
毕业 is managed and coordinated by the 毕业 Office. The 毕业 Office evaluates graduation applications and other educational records, including graduating with honors, for the purpose of awarding degrees.
Diplomas are mailed to the students by the 毕业 Office once their final grades have been verified after their graduation term.
For more information on how to apply to graduate, please visit the Apply for your Degree website of the 毕业 Office.
Commencement at Cal State LA takes place annually at the end of the spring semester. For the academic year 2023-2024, students can graduate at the end of fall 2023, winter 2024, 2024年春季, or summer 2024, but Commencement only takes place at the end of May.
Commencement is produced and managed by the Commencement Office (University Events and Protocol). The office facilitates and coordinates the Commencement ceremonies and activities.
Participating in Commencement is optional and not mandatory. If a student chooses to not participate, it does not affect their eligibility to graduate from the University. In addition, participation in Commencement does not automatically mean that the student has graduated. Commencement is a separate process from graduating. When a student confirms participation in Commencement, Cal State LA will reserve a seat for the student at the ceremony and provide a select number of guest tickets.
