Hello, i am an international student. I have 22 credits left for graduation. I wanted to know if i could walk my commencement this fall 2018. The problem is next spring semester 2018, my sister is graduating in China and my parents will be busy for the rest of the months in 2019 sponsoring our religious festival ‘Dumji’ that happens once in 5 years. So, they can attend my sister’s graduation but not mine because i am set to graduate on fall 2019. Is there any way i can walk my commencement this fall 2018, so that my parents can attend my commencement.
Thank You.
Ask your current school.
If you haven’t completed your requirements, you won’t receive a diploma. Additionally, your name will not be listed in the program, and you won’t be able to “walk”.
Would that satisfy your parents?
I doubt that would fly, but ask your school and your parents. Could you delay graduation until Spring 2020?
