graduated
Earned a diploma
Graduated describes something marked with units of measurement: a graduated cylinder, a graduated measuring cup.
It also means arranged in stages or degrees: graduated tax rates increase as income rises.
Most commonly, graduated is the past tense of graduate—to complete a course of study and receive a degree: She graduated from college last spring.
