Can I go ahead and get the residency waiver and graduation fee taken care of?

I thought all grades had to be in three months before graduation? I.e.for December 2018 graduation, I was told courses need to be completed by October 1st 2018..

Nope that's an often repeated misconception. For Dec graduation, you have to apply for graduation by Oct 1, but you can bring credits in well into November. In fact, you can even start your capstone as late as the August term, which will end in late October with grades in early November. If you for some reason fail to get enough credits, they will simply roll you over to the next graduation date.

Appreciate this info, as I'm aiming for a December graduation, and need to make sure to sign up and pay for the Capstone before 6/30/18 to lock in the SDC discounted rate, and also to actually set up the course to take no later than the August term to help ensure that I get everything in and done on time.
