I'm trying to decide which graduation I should apply for. Timing will be tight for June, since classes won't end until the second half of March, but I think it might work out. It would be nice to be all done on the one hand. But on the other, my family may enjoy having me participate in the ceremony. Thanks.

cooperalex2004 Wrote:Yeah, they only hold one ceremony per year and December graduates (like I was last December) have to wait until the following September. That's standard at most schools, it's just weird that TESC's is in September and not in May like schools near me.

NAP Wrote:It may be better to wait to celebrate until you are truly done with your degree, but you could ask if you would be allowed to attend under any special circumstances. For instance at EC, I was told, if I was a few credits away from completion of my degree by the first of the month before the ceremony, I could be eligible to attend. I didn't make the deadline, but it was nice to know it was possible.
