Summer 2021 Session 1 Updates

[HogwartsSchool]

oh wow! thats amazing!! I couldn't hold out for the tassel it cost me $6 from amazon. I figured why not get the cap gown and tassel and be extra cheesy and take some grad pics?! I worked damn hard and I am going to be proud of myself! I'd like UMOI swag myself so I'll wait for the store to reopen. I've never been an Alumni before, so I don't even know what the fees for an Alumni would be for HAHAHAHAH!!!

I worked ridiculously hard for many years to finally finish my bachelor's degree so I wanted the full bells and whistles. LOL I took pictures at the lake I live off of with my cap & gown on holding the diploma case. I even brought my gold cord for graduating Summa cum Laude. I earned it! 

Some schools charge hundreds of dollars every year for their alumni association. Some are more active than others. It also depends on how close by you are to campus if you'll get much out of it. I'm thrilled to be an alumni! I'm super excited to become an LSU alumni as well this fall. I'll be collecting those tassels and diplomas now! Then I'm off to grad school. I have 2 for associate degrees but they were never really exciting. Might be because of how much work went into my bachelor's degree. Lot of papers!

Hey congratulations by the way! Isn't it an awesome feeling to be a graduate?

My GPA ended up being a 3.78 and I know that earns me Magna cum Laude, so I ordered the cord and the stole too. We totally earned these degrees. I lost so much sleep this last week, and I'm praying I sleep tonight. I'm so anxious about the grades. 
I graduated pierpont on the 7th, but that was like ehh, who cares. This is a whole other level of excitement!!!  Did you do another bachelors with LSU? and where are you going for grad school?

Make sure your degree from UMPI is conferred asap and afterward UMPI transcripts sent over to WGU through the National Student Clearing House. WGU will need to complete the degree evaluation BEFORE June 15 if you plan on starting on July 1.

Oh yeah, I know. That's why I worked my a$$ off to get thus done.

I didn't realize you are part of the summer term. It's going to be extremely, extremely difficult to start WGU on July 1.

1. Professors usually don't post grades until after the term is over.
2. The degree is conferred after the term is complete AND, ALL grades are posted in MaineStreet.
3. The term ends July 2 and grades are usually not posted until the following week July 9 but can be longer, then degree conferral from the registrar's office can take several weeks, maybe week of July 23.
4. WGU will take a week or longer for the transcript evaluation, week of August 2.

5. Based on this info, it looks like September 1 will be the start date at WGU.
6. The exception, if you can get all professors to post grades now and get the registrar's office to confer the degree before the term is officially over. Everything would need to happen by next week.
7. Besides talking with Jessica, you may also need to talk with the registrar's office because they handle the actual degree conferral.
