Capping/Pinning with Excelsior?

[dmarie (GA)]

Just curious, when you graduate from Excelsior, is there a graduation of some kind? Or do you receive your diploma in the mail?

Thanks! :)

they have a grad. once a year. you can buy a nursing school pin from them, you get your degree sent to you, or you can go to new york for grad. leo2

They have graduation dates throughout the year (dates when you can officially be declared a graduate), but commencement (nothing more than the graduation ceremony) is once a year.

The distinction of completed vs. graduated doesn't really affect us too much in TX though. The Texas BNE can start your GN process based on your completion date rather than your graduation date.

They confer degrees almost every month. Cap and gown is every June and I WILL be there june of '08. This will be my first cap and gown ever Woo Hoo !!
