Graduation: Frequently Asked Questions

What factors were considered when booking a date for Graduation?

OPSI/Governing Policies
- There must be 175 school days before a school/district offers a Graduation/Commencement Ceremony
  - June 11 is the 175^th day of school – this would be the earliest ISD students can graduate
- June 11(evening) through June 13 (evening) is Shavuot – a designated non-work day for observers.
  - OSPI encourages districts not to schedule significant school events on major religious holidays.
Venue Options
- ISD gathers information from and considers multiple venues for Graduation, including but not limited to: our own school campuses, T-Mobile Park, Climate Pledge Arena, ShoWare, Alaska Airlines Arena, WaMU Theater, Benaroya Hall.
  - Just as ISD has a long standing relationship with T-Mobile for priority booking, many neighboring districts have priority bookings with other venues.
  - Capacity/parking limitations:
    - Without ticketing restrictions, our student/staff and supporter capacity can reach up to 7,000 guests at T-Mobile.

I’m a Running Start student. What if my final is scheduled the same day as Graduation?

Spring 2024 dates have not been published for Bellevue College. Final exam dates and times will be in the syllabus of each class during registration.

Based on previous years, class schedules often align with final exam times. If this is important to you, please consider this factor when selecting your classes, and communicate with your professor during the first week of class.
