To graduate
Hi,
Is the term, "to graduate" only used when you've completed your entire college years from the beginning to the end?
What about if I'm in my 3rd year of college, does the past two years of college still count as, "to graduate" then? If not, what's the correct term for this?
I hope I didn't make it too confusing.
Thank you

'To graduate' is nearly always taken to mean 'to complete a course of study and receive a written qualification such as a degree or diploma'. It is also used metaphorically: 'I've had nothing but disappointments all my life. I graduated with a double first from The School of Hard Knocks.
