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.
Relive the Memories
