<p>Sybbie, I’m sorry, but I think you’re missing the point – or the two of us are talking at cross-purposes. The OP said s/he will graduate, but may receive the diploma after the actual ceremony “a couple weeks late.” Please read what s/he said. You keep harping on summer school, and that is not what OP is talking about. S/he did not say s/he would need to go to summer school but that s/he would be completing a couple of classes late. Totally different issue. And, not participating in the graduation ceremony (whether voluntarily or due to school policy) is not the same as not graduating. I don’t think you need to add to OP’s anxiety level. </p>
