Are you going to walk at your CC graduation ceremony?

<p>I'm not really sure if I want to.</p>

<p>I just got a letter in the mail telling me about the official date/location/other details and it just made me think.
The whole point of these things is to celebrate with others but I don't really have anyone to celebrate with; however, when I was filling out the graduation paperwork with my counselor she really wanted me to put down that I would be participating in the ceremony.</p>

<p>Just thought it would be interesting to hear what others are going to do. </p>

<p>LOL</p>

3

<p>No</p>

4

<p>I won’t, for the same reasons as you, OP.</p>

5

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>It’d feel weird, but that’s just my opinion. I’ll walk the stage when I get my bachelor’s degree.</p>

6

<p>No because I haven’t fulfilled my school’s PE requirement <em>__</em></p>

<p>@xxcapital
When I read your post I laughed, does your school seriously has a PE requirement?
Is this a thing at many CCs?</p>

<p>@AnthroFlo I have no idea but I know for Glendale CC, you need:</p>

<p>PHYSICAL EDUCATION
7. Two semester units of physical education activity
classes and/or dance activity classes must be
completed unless exempted by established policy.
Consult the catalog for a list of the exemptions.</p>

<li>quoted from their “GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS” page for AS</li>
</ul>

<p>Edit: I would need to stay an extra year to fulfill the school’s requirements so no ty</p>

<p>I think you can have 2 semester units of P E by taking summer class. My school does have this requirement too. I need to take 2 P E units in order to get an AA degree. </p>

10

<p>I totally forgot it meant semester UNITS. Definitely a class would be good. Too bad my school cut back on summer classes :(. </p>

11

<p>Ain’t nobody got time for that.</p>

<p>If I transfer, does it even count as graduating? At my CC, as far as I know, the graduation ceremony is for people getting their AA, AS, or other degrees. I think they have some other small thing for transfers but it’s definitely not as big as the graduation ceremony.</p>

13

<p>@RamonaFalls, transferring doesn’t count as graduating unless you have the requirements done. Yes you’re right in regards to the grad ceremony only being for ppl getting their AA degrees</p>

<p>I’m just transferring so no graduating. I told myself even if I were graduating, I would not want to go. </p>

14

<p>Definitely not. Missing the PE requirement and a speech class. Even if I did get an AA I would not participate in the ceremony, it would feel sort of weird lol.</p>

15

<p>I am going to and I’m pretty surprised so many people aren’t. It’s a shame that so many people think CC is like a prison and are more concerned with “getting out” and transferring than enjoying their education. I have fond memories from the last two years even if this was just a stepping stone.</p>

16

<p>Does anybody know if it’s required to participate in the ceremony in order to receive your AA degree? I did fill out forms but I don’t want to go, but I’m afraid that I wouldn’t get the degree if I don’t. Or does it vary from CC to CC?</p>

17

<p>I really love my school, so I will attend the graduation ceremony for sure. </p>

<p>@sunfulgirl </p>

<p>It’s not required. </p>

<p>Same here, I’m actually going to as well. </p>
