Seminary Graduation
North Park is proud to celebrate the completion of studies with all our graduating students. Each May, the Seminary holds its own commencement and consecration service. December seminary graduates may choose to participate in the University Commencement Ceremony held at the conclusion of the fall semester, or may choose to delay participation until the Seminary Commencement in May.
