This is not an "I'm done" thread because I am still working on science, math and computer courses until and probably after graduation. This community is fantastic and I will post some thank yous when the diplomas come in the mail.
Also, my twins, Grace and Emma, turn five today. Good day all around.
Big Congrats to you!
Can I please ask you a few questions? I am on my final course (BUS421 Capstone for BSBA Finance). The course ends on July 22. Assuming I get a C, I will graduate in September.
My question is when can we say we have a college degree (for employment purposes as an example)?
A friend told me he feels the actual graduation doesn't have to be in the past. He said, once I have all of the credits in then I can say I have the degree. Is this true? For example, academic advising said they start the audits in late July. Does this mean once the audit is done, I can legally say I am a college graduate?
In case you are wondering...I am looking for a new role and the degree will be helpful. Additionally, I have completed a professional designation that requires the undergrad work to be done before you can use the credentials.
Any help is appreciated.
