Graduating...

stupefly

I know, in the middle of exams that Im struggling with it's funny to be talking of graduating. But I'm just wondering: if one was offered a job abroad and had to leave to take up that position in early August. What would the deal be with graduating?

Can we graduate early?? Do many do this?

A friend of mine graduated early a few years back. He said they were totally flexible about it.

You can be conferred in absentia, if that's what you mean. They post your cert and whatnot out to you. You just have to let them know when they're arranging everything that you won't be there. I had to check up the regulations for a friend fairly recently, they're all on the nuim.ie site somewhere - I think the conference office section.

They send you a form about graduation when you get exam results I think it was, and it has a section saying "if you wish to be conferred in absentia fill this bit out and send it back"
it's all grand
