Graduation is in May and I need your advice? Career advice plz?
Here is the predicament:
In order to graduate from Howard U - I need 127 credits in order to do so. I currently have 102 and I need to be within 6 credits in order to participate in graduation (121 credits). I am currently registered for 16 credits and Howard only has ONE graduation the entire school year...
Last semester I registered for 16 credit hours and I decided to drop a course because I was worried I was going to fail and subsequently If I don't take 19 credits this semester I won't be able to participate in graduation. I get remission of tuition (tuition is waived) and it only covers up to 18 credits...
If I take 19 credits I have to pay anywhere up to 900 to 1400 bucks which would be a financial burden for me to pay because I barely have any money myself....
If I don't pay I don't participate in graduation however, I still get my degree by the summer time
What would you do?

Skip the graduation ceremony. For me and my friends it was more for our parents than ourselves. I would have skipped mine otherwise. If you parents want to help pay for them take the 19 hours. Otherwise don't put yourself in a tough spot financially just so you can walk across a stage for about 20 seconds max.
A degree in the summertime will still be a degree in the summertime ceremony or not.
