Graduation Question

[dfrecore]

Hello!

Apologies for the second post today, just had a question about the graduation.

I saw on the TESU website that if a course is enrolled in September, October, or November, then you would be eligible for graduation in March.

I was ideally hoping to finish the rest of my requirements (given I’ll likely take 16 SH through TESU) and graduate in December.

I was looking to enrol in October, and finish in December, and apply for December grad, but it seems that’s not possible.

What are some ways I can graduate in December, I guess one is by paying the residency waiver fee which is pricy but an option.

Another one may be doing the courses through e-packs?

Or maybe I can call TESU and simply tell them about my situation if anyone has done that.

Just curious on the best/cheapest course of action at this point, thanks!

Paying the residency waiver does not in any way change what date you can graduate. e-Packs might influence graduation date if you finished them all early.

The only way to graduate is to have the right 120cr in the right places, and have that all by November 1st.  Since you're not going to be done with your capstone by 11/1, you cannot graduate in December.
 - September term ends Nov 21
 - October term ends Dec 26
 
What happens is that you apply for December graduation by October 1, then sometime around November 1 (as late as Nov 15) they audit your degree, and they will see that you don't have enough credits. They will shoot you an email saying you missed the December graduation, but will push it to March graduation.
