And, as I stated, I'm guinea pigging this whole thing, so that for anyone who might desperately need a degree at some point in the future, at least they'll know what to expect. If you're in full panic mode because your company has just informed you that you must have a degree within a certain timeframe or you're going to lose your job, this could be a viable option for many, and knowing that there's no communication along the way, and you're told after graduation that "oh yeah, by the way, you graduated last Thursday" is something someone might need to know.
I think, under those circumstances, frequent phone contact is the *only* realistic way to approach that problem. WVNCC confer very frequently through the spring & summer, and take applications closer to the conferral which is helpful for rushed graduation. So I think, depending on when a person discovers their "desperate need", WVNCC is the better option. Also, if a person needs something that desperately, I think they'll be motivated to stay on it until they have answers one way or another. I'd also suggest, to that person, to apply simultaneously for multiple BOGs and see who gets it done first.
