Graduation Information

Indiana Wesleyan University offers three dates a year on which to honor our graduates at Commencement and at which time conferral of degrees occurs: April, August and December. There are usually two, if not three, ceremonies on each of these dates.

IWU also provides three conferral dates throughout the year in addition to the commencements listed above. Those additional conferrals occur in the months of February, June and October.

Our most recent graduation ceremonies were held on Saturday, December 16, 2017.  Our commencement speaker was Mr. Kizito Kalima, Founder and Executive Director of Peace Center for Forgiveness and Reconciliation. The commencement address was entitled "Overcoming Adversity."

Graduation ceremonies are held in the Chapel-Auditorium of IWU's Marion campus. Additionally, on the day of graduation, the ceremonies are streamed live on the Web at www.indwes.edu/Events/Commencement.
