There\u2019s a difference between graduation and commencement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduation is when the University of Washington Bothell Office of the Registrar confirms you have completed degree requirements. It then sends you a diploma three or four months later. Congratulations on a significant achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commencement<\/a> is the formal ceremony that celebrates your graduation. As your name is announced, you march in cap and gown with classmates to \u201cPomp and Circumstance\u201d across a stage for a handshake from campus leaders and the gold-embossed cover in which you can put your diploma. The entire class is then invited to move their cap tassels from right to left as a visible sign you are now a college graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regalia and rituals are symbolic and tangible demonstrations of what graduation means. It\u2019s a landmark in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
