Graduation is the action of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated, where students become Graduates. Before the graduation, candidates are referred to as Graduands. The date of graduation is often called degree day. The graduation itself is also called commencement, convocation or invocation. At the University of Cambridge, the occasion on which most graduands receive their BA degree is known as general admission. In the United States and Canada, it is also used to refer to the advancement from a primary or secondary school level.
Graduation Poems

On Wings of Knowledge There you are in your cap and tassel Ready to make the world your castle. It seems just yesterday you were a kid, Watching everything I/we did. Now we're watching you graduate-- The grown young man/woman we helped create! On wings of knowledge you will fly; Following your vision and rising high. We couldn't be prouder, (NAME), of you; We wish you success in all you do. Remember one thing we want you to know: Our love is with you wherever you go. By Joanna Fuchs |
If You Believe Your diploma means a future without boundaries, A world that's full of energy and fun. So as you reach for all life has to offer, Remember that you're second to no one. Pursue your goals, yet keep your loved ones close, As you utilize your talent and ambition. Let your friends and family give you their support, And you'll master every challenging transition. And always, (NAME), know you can achieve The things you really want, if you believe. By Joanna Fuchs |

Goodbye Dear Friend And Graduate Goodbye, dear friend and graduate! Our golden time is over now, Our time of nothing more than time, Days of simply being friends. But I will always treasure how Your love for me slipped into mine, Embracing me where courage ends. Graduation is a time For feeling very proud, For thinking lots of lovely thoughts And saying them out loudĄ By Claudio Monteverdi |
