<p>The challenge is that if student does not graduate in May/June, whenever his high school graduates, he will not “graduate” until the next graduation cycle, summer. The amount of time he needs after graduation to finish the course does not matter, it is the cycle in which the school can grant an diploma.</p>
<p>For example, D works on a quarter system. A student receives an incomplete and has not fulfilled all of his requirements to graduate in June and cannot walk at graduation. Student finishes the project for the incomplete on June 20th, student will not receive a diploma on June 25th. Student be an August graduate. Student will not receive a diploma “a few weeks later”, student will receive diploma when diplomas/degrees are conferred the next graduation cycle. In 2015, student will be listed in the graduation program as an August graduate.</p>
