Pretty much what the title says. I’m likely going to graduate after a few extra summer classes, and I’m trying to figure out how graduation will work. Is it University-specific? Or is there a general rule of thumb? I have a baby on the way and I’d like to start my career asap just to help take care of him.
Judging by the comments here, it seems it may vary between schools. Mine has a system where you “apply” for graduation. They just go over your records to make sure you’ve earned all the correct credits and enough of them. Once they’ve verified it they let you know they have and that you now have the degree. I’d probably check with your advisor if you have one, or if not contact the school and ask if there are any steps you need to take once your required classes have been completed.
