<p>I was a Spring 06 Admit from a CCC and am wondering if we graduate at the same commencement ceremonies that Fall 06 Admits attend. Since I am a Spring Admit I end up finishing my graduation requirements in the Fall 07. Would I walk in the ceremony in May 07 and then just finish up in Fall 07? Or would I walk in a ceremony in December? Or am I going to be walking in May 08 and having an idle semester Spring 08? I was trying to find some info and when I looked at seniors.berkeley.edu it showed 2 ceremonies a year. The one in December was a university wide sort of ceremony, while the ones in May were by department.
This seems like something that should be painfully obvious but I just don't know.</p>
<p>So Spring admits don't get to graduate at the same time as their Fall counterparts? Should I try to finish up and take a lot of units so I can finish by spring 07 or summer 07 and graduate in may 07?</p>
<p>hey calishyphy, im a spring transfer admit, too. i'm planning on graduating a year later w/ a double major. if you're doing a single major, its def. possible to get it done 1 sem. ahead of time if you do some planning/work hard.</p>
<p>what ccc are you transferring from? whats your major?</p>
<p>Spring 06 was my first semester at Cal, I'm from a CC in socal and my major is Econ. I could finish up by this summer or spring if I really wanted to give myself a hard courseload, but I'd rather do it in the traditional 4 semesters after transfer to finish by Fall 07. I was talking to a couple of my friends who came here in the spring at the same time I did, and I got some different answers. 1 person said that I would be walking in December after Fall 07 is over, while the other person said I could walk in in May 07 just for the ceremony, but still be able to attend for Fall 07 to finish up my clases and officially graduate on paper. But, Unlimited up there says if I finish my classes in Fall 07 I would walk in May08, leaving me with an idle semester for the spring of 08. I want to talk to L&S about this so I can map out a degree completion plan.</p>
<p>No no. It means you will be walking in December(?), BUT I am not sure if there even is a ceremony in December though. If you complete your degree in the fall you won't be walking in May08. Only those who graduate in May walk in May.</p>
<p>Best to ask an advisor to double check, and then share the info :)</p>
