TESU graduation question

[maxxor6868]

Your degree doesn't officially conferred until December even if your courses are done beforehand. So you aren't technically a college graduate until December.

You can look at prior threads but WGU is very strict and that can't start their masters until the degree is conferred so you wouldn't be able to start WGU masters until January 1st. Idk about other grad schools but WGU for sure works that way.

But in the meantime, once your capstone is done you could apply to WGU, choose a program and get everything set up and ready to go for January 1st so you wouldn't waste time.

As far as employment, I don't know much. I saw at least one post on this fourm where the jobs wouldn't hire them until the degree was conferred so if that was the case it would be December before you could start work. But even if that were true, you could still be applying beforehand and get a job lined up before December. But I honestly don't know beyond that. I doubt a lot of jobs you would probably take that approach especially if the degree is all done. I feel like employment wouldn't be any issue but idk.

Gotcha. Thanks another for all the help.
