CSI Commencement Ceremony
Graduating from college is a big achievement, and commencement is your time to celebrate! The CSI Commencement Ceremony honors your hard work and marks this special milestone with your family, friends, classmates, and faculty.
What Is Commencement?
Commencement is the official graduation ceremony. It’s where students who choose to participate (often called "walking") are recognized for completing their degree or certificate programs. If you walk, you’ll receive a diploma cover during the ceremony.
Important: Walking in commencement does not mean you have officially graduated. You must apply to graduate, and CSI will verify that all requirements are met. Your diploma will be mailed after all graduation requirements are completed and approved. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Registrar at records@csi.edu.
