In one sentence

Kishwaukee's official graduate list counts people and credentials separately, so the credential total is higher than the number of named students.

Kishwaukee College has released its Spring 2026 graduate list, naming 365 students who completed 386 degrees and certificates.

The difference between the totals matters: credentials are counted separately from people, and the list includes students associated with more than one degree or certificate.

The headline numbers

The June 22 release reports 365 students and 386 degrees and certificates.

The student count and credential count measure different things, so both should be labeled when the result is cited.

What the list contains

Graduates are grouped by hometown, including Sycamore and nearby communities, with credential abbreviations and program names next to each person.

The College's complete list is linked below rather than reproduced in full.

How honors are labeled

The College defines summa cum laude as a cumulative GPA of 3.75 to 4.0, magna cum laude as 3.5 to 3.749, and cum laude as 3.25 to 3.499.

Certificate students with a final cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 are labeled Certificate with Distinction. PTK denotes Phi Theta Kappa.
