GRADUATION
While many of the traditional aspects of a college experience are not prominent at RELLIS, we think that attending a college graduation ceremony is an important and exciting step for our students. We encourage all students to make plans with their family to attend the graduation ceremony at either their home institution or with us at an in-person ceremony.
