Formal graduation ceremonies are held in end of May or beginning of June each year. At their graduation, students receive a graduate certificate, two copies of their course history (in Icelandic and English with ranking) and a Diploma Supplement. The"Diploma Supplement is issued in a widely spoken European language (English), given automatically and free of charge to every student upon graduation". The Diploma Supplement is a description of the studies students have completed and it also contains a short description of the Icelandic higher education system and its structure. Students generally submit the Diploma Supplement when applying for admission to universities abroad.
