Phoebe's graduation from college was actually addressed in the "Demon Who Came In From the Cold."
She was excited about her graduation and having Cole attend the ceremony and her party. Cole promised he would be there and also offered to let Phoebe strip him of his evil powers but then the demonic faction of which Cole was once a member of surfaced. They were called "The Brotherhood of the Thorn," and wanted to acheive world domination through the acquisition of corporations, in this case their target was an internet company. Cole offered to go under cover to find out information the sisters could use to stop it. Phoebe was against it but he said he needed to do it for himself so he knew he was capable of doing the good and right thing. She agreed and he went undercover.
The merger was stopped thanks to the Charmed Ones and Cole. Phoebe's graduation proceeded and she had her party altough she spent the party in tears because Cole wasn't there and she had no idea whether he was alive or dead.
The problem was that in trying to go back to the underworld to cover his tracks so the Brotherhood wouldn't suspect him and come after him, Cole was indeed found out by his former mentor who could read minds. The mentor therefore knew Cole was lying when he said he hadn't switched sides and that he was trying to break his love for Phoebe.
In punishment for Cole's betrayl, the mentor then decided to do just that and cast a spell over Cole who under it's power killed a witch against his own will in front of Phoebe, who thought he'd done it of his own accordance. Thus causing Phoebe to reject Cole who then having no where else to turn fled back to the underworld, until Piper summoned him back to help Phoebe release the pain she was experiencing because she thought Cole had indeed used her all along and willingly betrayed her, that had caused her to turn into a Banshee in "Who's Barking Now!"
Sorry if this is to detailed but I loved those episodes. At any rate poor Phoebe didn't get to have a very happy graduation because of all this. Hope this helps.
