The Technical College Reykjavík has two graduations a year, in May and December. A student completes his studies at the school when he has completed certain courses, and the number of units specified in his course description. When graduating, the student receives a certificate stating which program he has completed.

Graduation

The Technical College’s graduation for the autumn semester 2024 will take place in Eldborg in Harpa, on Wednesday, December 18th.

Registration for graduation

It is important that a student aiming to graduate this semester registers for graduation with their principal before the announced deadline, which can be seen in the school calendar.

The principal reviews the student’s academic record and registers him as a candidate for graduation in Inna. Note that the student must inform the principal if he is taking courses at another school before graduation.

The principal confirms the candidates for graduation in Inna after the deadline has passed according to VKL-204
