Class dropped; graduation date still up in the air

[kevyn]

The deed is done. I applied for, and was granted, a hardship withdrawal from my Interpersonal Communications class (COMM 327). That means I will be finishing 9 credits this quarter instead of the 14 credits I started out with.

What this means for graduation is still unclear. I met with my adviser at Student disAbility Services this morning, and he thinks it might be possible to graduate me anyway with what I have. That would be SO sweet!

Of course, it's also still possible that I will need to take one more upper division class during summer quarter. One more is do-able. I should know within the next 24 hours what the verdict is.

Whatever the outcome, finish this quarter or next, one thing is clear: I won't be able to walk and receive the diploma until August. It's past the deadline for submitting graduation requests for this quarter, so no matter which outcome, I won't actually get the diploma until the August ceremony. Oh well.

My apologies to everyone I got excited with my anticipated June graduation date.

I'm at the finish line. I'm limping across, but I am almost there....

good luck on the verdict.
either way, you'll get it done.
though, i'm sure it'd be nice to have it in the bag already.

Keep going! Limping is still forward motion, after all.
My ceremony also isn't until August. I'll be thinking of you when I walk.

For my 2nd BA I walked and had to wait for my diploma. I had to take an incomplete as I was trying to take 18 hours. I walked and it was ok. My diploma for my Master's was empty but they mailed it. Not sure about the delay. Stuff happens. You can walk later if you want to.
