Graduation & Commencement

Commencement is Saturday, May 11 at 10 a.m. at the Peoria Civic Center.

Commencement

The Commencement Ceremony is only offered at the end of Spring semester. You are invited to walk/participate regardless of which semester during the academic year you completed your degree(s)/certificate(s) requirements.

Participation in the Commencement Ceremony does not automatically ensure that a student has earned a degree or certificate. Once final grades are posted, degrees and certificates are verified to be conferred as soon as possible following the ceremony. Diplomas will be mailed to the student after all final grades are posted.

All potential graduates should receive an invitation to participate in the Commencement Ceremony via their ICC email.

The Commencement ceremony is an opportunity for you, your family, and your friends to celebrate your accomplishment of achieving this milestone in your education. The 2024 Commencement ceremony is Saturday, May 11, 2024, at the Peoria Civic Center. Learn more about Commencement 2024
