Summer 2021 Session 1 Updates

[ss20ts]

So exciting to hear all about these graduations! Are there certain periods of graduation or can you apply at any time? I hope I can get my last 6 courses + sdc bio done in the next 4 weeks! Does anyone know how long it takes to get exam results from sdc? They say within 3 weeks but I'm really hoping to complete the course and transfer it in within one week, does that seem reasonable? 
For anyone who is thinking about/ taking HTY/POS UL just be  aware that most of the final assignments are either a 1500-2000 word essay or a 25-30 slide Power Presentation that has at least 2000 words in notes. Just thought I'd give anyone whose interested a heads up!

You apply for graduation when you're close to completing the degree requirements. Jessica will help you with this. 

Graduation and Commencement are 2 different things. They have graduation after every term. Commencement is once a year in May. The last 2 were virtual, but they hope to have in person Commencement in 2022.

Thanks! Does anyone have any experience with the bio lab from sdc?

I wonder if with UMPI whether you can only transfer in credits for graduation during an active session or if I would be able to transfer in BIO from  SDC after the session is over and still be able to graduate without paying for another session. Maybe I'll have to ask Jessica once she returns if this possible.

As far as I understood it, you can't graduate until all of your courses are completed. They allow you to participate in Commencement in May if you have to complete 6 credits or less and you're registered to complete them. Commencement is different and separate from graduation.
