One or two classes left and graduation - bvndz - 09-05-2023
What’s happens if I need 2 classes left after fall 1 semester, would I have to pay a whole $1500 tuition again? Also, if I do finish all my classes in fall 1 in October, which graduation would I be walking for?

*ding ding*, if you don't finish everything within the session, you have to pay for another session to complete any remaining classes... Your Pace should have more graduation dates than the butt-in-seat options, I would hazard a guess at the 'next' session after you've been audited for graduation... Compared to the butt-in-seat option that has 3 graduation dates a year, I think, the Your Pace should have 6, I haven't checked their website yet to confirm <gasp>.

If you complete your degree in Fall 1, you should get your degree during Fall 2 or shortly into Spring 1. (It sounds like they may be processing degrees faster these days, but it's unknown whether this will last.)
But in-person graduation is once a year, in May.

Yes, you have to pay $1500 for the next session. UMPI doesn't prorate tuition. You could take extra courses that you don't need to graduate.
Commencement takes place once a year in May. There's only 1 ceremony. Degrees are conferred after grades are posted for each session. So if you apply for graduation on time and complete all of your courses in Fall 1, then your graduation date will be in October.

Fall 1 will confer before Spring 1 starts. Spring 1 doesn't start until mid January.
