Hiram College celebrates commencement one time a year in May.

Students may apply to graduate for either August (summer semester), December (fall semester), or May (spring semester) and may choose to participate in the commencement ceremony. 

In order to be reviewed for graduation and to participate in Hiram College Commencement, a formal application for graduation must be filed with the Office of the Registrar at least one full semester before degree requirements will be completed. 

Students with eight (8) or fewer credits to complete after the May commencement, may choose to participate in the ceremony if they are confident that they will finish their courses over the next two semesters.
