有趣的事实... Do you know the difference between graduation and commencement?

Simply put, 毕业 is the completion of your degree. You need to apply to graduate for the semester you will be completing your final degree requirements. 毕业 happens at the end of every semester 秋天 (December), Winter (April), and Summer (August).

然而, 毕业典礼 is a ceremony held twice a year that honors students who have or will soon graduate and earn their degree. The 毕业典礼 Ceremony is held twice annually in December (秋天) and April/May (春天). Participating in a 毕业典礼 ceremony does 不 automatically mean that a student has graduated.
