Your graduation is the result of a period of study. You might get through a course, or exams, but not usually a graduation. Unless, perhaps, you are talking about the graduation ceremony itself - for example: "Despite my terrible hangover, I got through my graduation without throwing up.".
The sense of your first example might best be conveyed by "I passed my course with distinction".
