graduation season
Diploma ceremony period
Graduation season is the period, typically late spring, when schools and universities hold commencement ceremonies.
The phrase evokes a cluster of associated rituals—caps and gowns, diplomas, family gatherings, and celebration: Graduation season always makes me nostalgic.
It also signals a time of transition and uncertainty for graduates entering new phases of life.
