Graduation Information
Indiana Wesleyan University offers two dates a year to honor graduates at Commencement and at which time conferral of degrees occurs: April and December. There are usually three ceremonies on each of these dates.
IWU also provides four additional conferral dates throughout the year in addition to the commencement dates above. Those additional conferrals occur in the months of February, June, August, and October.
Our most recent graduation ceremonies were held on Saturday, December 14, 2019. Our commencement speaker was Reverend Donovan A. Coley, Sr. and the commencement address was entitled “Go Change, Go Change Your World.”
Graduation ceremonies are held in the Chapel-Auditorium of IWU's Marion campus. Additionally, on the day of graduation, the ceremonies are streamed live at www.indwes.edu/events/commencement.
