What classes do I need to do next?

Yes, it's a waiting game, you won't get it anytime soon, I would wait at least a month as next graduation is in a while...

It's been about 10 days since I applied and so far so good. I've got access to everything I need, including the email account via which I've been communicating with Nancy.

So how exactly does graduation work? A few qusetions:

How often do graduations occur? 6 times per year? Monthly?
Will you not get the physical diploma until after graduation? I think I've read on here that it could take up to 6 weeks. True?
Does the diploma say the AoE on it? I have seen some diplomas from Pierpont on the internet that don't have an AoE specified, so I'm guessing it doesn't.
As far as applying to UMPI for the BAS, does one have to wait until after receiving the diploma or as soon as you're notified that you will receive the diploma?

It seems like it will be about October when I will be able to apply to UMPI and not starting there until January, which is fine. This process with Pierpont seems like it will take about 2 months. That put us in the middle of August, assuming this lines up with their graduation cycle.
