The quest for graduation is a long and arduous process or so the college would like you to believe.

It's amusing the amount of fear "The End" inspires in my fellow students.

We are all (particularly students though one would logically assume that the same fear applies to teachers) pressured to fear the graduation.

There are off the top of my head three different forms I had to turn in to graduate. One of them was due two semesters before you graduate, the other three semesters before you graduate. I turned mine in THIS semester, the semester I intend to graduate, and I have had absolutely no problem with getting closer and closer towards "The End" despite the tardiness of my paper work, namely because I am of the mind that realizes the uncertainty the future represents. Think about it, life is unpredictable, one serious illness and you might find yourself having to graduate a semester later than you intended. Therefore, I bided my time and waited until I was positive I would graduate, and it has paid off.

Ultimately, I have proven what I set out to prove at the start of this semester when I looked over the graduation requirements last semester. No matter how much trouble the graduation paperwork seems to suggest, you have absolutely nothing to fear. Keep your head held high and your mind alert, believe it or not, this college really does want you to graduate if only so you can come back for your masters and Ph. D.

I will however suggest that you make copies of all your paperwork after it gets signed or before you turn it in to the administration just in case they lose your information or forget they approved it.
