#completion of studies

• Absolution / Acquittal — The act of absolving and its result. 1. Forgiveness, release from a fault or punishment; a declaration of innocence. 2. The official completion of a cycle of studies or a form of education. From an ethical standpoint, graduation or absolution represents the formal transition into a new existential stage, either through the rehabilitation of a conscience cleared of guilt or through the public recognition of an individual's moral and intellectual competence.
