Thanks for your amazing website. I have two quick questions. I’m in my third year and have only finished 12 credits so far, so there is no way I
can graduate by the end of next school year unless I take summer school both this year and next year.I was wondering if I can still graduate in
June if I take a summer intensive course next summer, meaning that I will finish my 20.0 credits on June 1st and will graduate between June 5-21st when they hold the ceremonies.If not, will they at least give me my degree right away so that I can go to grad school without wasting one year?
Thanks for all your helps 😛

Hey hey,
A simple answer to your first question is … no. While the classes for an intensive course end on June 1st this year, the exams end on June 8th and the dates could be different next year. Meaning convocation could theoretically occur before you finish. But mainly you can’t request?June?graduation based off of summer courses.
You will not receive your degree right when you finish your last credit. You don’t receive your degree (both on your transcript and that little peice of paper) until conovocation (the actual cermony) which will be in November(too many brackets in one sentence?) Here are some options that grad school might accept:
1) An official transcript- this will prove?that you have taken the amount of credits to graduate
2) Once you have requested graduation, the Faculty of Arts & Science can write you a letter of your intent to graduate
3) You can also get similar letters from each?program department to prove?you have your program requirements
mmmkay?
love de love,
