I start this July and estimate to complete end of year if I don't have any personal impediments to my schedule. Ideally be done in December. If that is the case do I qualify for an invite in person or virtually for the next spring graduation ceremony in'25?
I was part of virtual graduation twice during Covid and it's not spectacular. It's not an UMPI issue. It's a virtual issue. There's only so much that can be done virtually and you really do miss out on Commencement such as the walk across campus, being there with other grads, getting your wings and diploma case, etc. On Discord, there were a few who traveled for Commencement. Commencement is held once a year in early May. Please don't confuse Commencement and graduation as students graduate every term which many find confusing.
