Pretty much what the title says. I’m likely going to graduate after a few extra summer classes, and I’m trying to figure out how graduation will work. Is it University-specific? Or is there a general rule of thumb? I have a baby on the way and I’d like to start my career asap just to help take care of him.
It’s uni-specific. Your degree is conferred as soon as the faculty’s recommendation is approved by the board of regents. Your advisor or registrar can tell which commencement ceremony summer grads are allowed to participate in — assuming you want to walk at all.
