Congrats! I can't wait for that day. 
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

I faxed my graduation request December 27th, but the registrar office did not see it until January 2nd after the holidays. And it was not officially acknowledged by the office of the registrar until January 13th. I've sent them an email requesting an ETA for the completion of the audit, to which I received a stock response that did not tell me anything I did not already know. February 5th, I called and left a message, but did not receive a callback. I called again today and spoke with a live person who confirmed that I have nothing outstanding on my academic evaluation, but had no visibility into the audit process. He offered to transfer me to the graduation office to see if I could find out more there, I accepted and was routed to voice mail. They're probably just busy and I need to be patient. But it would be nice if they were a bit more communicative.

Well, I was told to put mine in a few weeks before the end of the course, so that it is on record and processed by the time of the holiday break.
