Usage notes
In the sense “to complete studies”, the preposition “from” is often used, but may be dropped in informal speech, as in “I just graduated' ''from'' college” vs. (informal) “I just ' graduated college”. This varies between speakers, and some speakers consider “from” required, marking “I graduated college” as incorrect or uneducated. Note also that the subject and object can switch between the school and the student: “I graduated' [from] Indiana University last year” vs. “Indiana University ' graduated me last year”.Derived terms
