Save the Date!
Delta College's 91st annual Commencement will take place on May 14, 2026, at Adventist Health Arena in downtown Stockton. Watch this page for news and updates in the weeks and months to come.
Apply for Graduation
Don't forget! To participate in Commencement, you must be graduating with an associate degree, and you must have applied for graduation for Summer 2025, Fall 2025, or Spring 2026.
The deadline to apply for graduation for Spring 2026 is March 27, 2026.
Special Celebrations
Some Delta College programs host what we refer to as "special celebrations" at the end of the academic year. These celebrations are not to be confused with Commencement itself. Both the special ceremonies and Commencement are optional; you can attend one or both if you like.
Please contact the specific program or cohort for information about other ceremonies that are happening for graduates.
