If I participate in the graduation ceremony, does that mean I graduated?
Not necessarily. If you have completed all of your university/college requirements, you are a graduate and will receive your diploma at the graduation ceremony. If, however, you haven’t completed all requirements, you may still participate but won’t receive your actual diploma or be considered a graduate.
