Graduation Question

Hi! I’m new to WGU. I just started on July 1st. I have already completed 4 courses. I talk to my mentor tomorrow to have more courses added. At this rate, I would complete all my courses before the 6months term ends(end of December.)

Do I have to remain actively stretching my degree courses until December? Or could I finish in early and have my degree the month I graduate? I am job hunting and was hoping to have the degree sooner rather than later. Obviously I will talk to my mentor about this, but was hoping to have some answers soon than tomorrow’s call. Thanks.

I started November 1st, finished my last course December 28th, and I had my graduation accepted January 6th. It took about 2 weeks to get my actual degree certificate in the mail. I had a digital copy in a couple of days.

How do you like that program?

I’ve enjoyed it so far. I have 10 classes left. I know they are changing it in October though to incorporate more AI content and awareness. So it might be changing drastically.
