GCU. My m-i-l (no pics) did that same program. We teased her about the school mascot and online football team. It was no joke of a program though. The amount of work was brutal and consumed her life. Congrats on finishing.
I walked for undergrad but not for grad school.

I assumed you were still stuck in undergrad

I did not go my graduation.

I'm going to mine next week. My parents are still around and while they're definitely not forcing me, I know it's meaningful to them. And I've worked my arse for my degrees. Congrats

I didn't because I graduated in the Winter and was already working when graduation rolled around and didn't think much of it.
In hindsight I probably should have gone for my parents and g'parents.
Plus I probably knocked myself out of a few gifts/bucks by not going.

I walked for my parents who are in bad health and in their 80's. Look on their faces made it worthwhile

I didn't go to my graduation for either degree I got (went back 5 years after the first). Just not important to me at all.

Never got to walk for my undergrad so I think I'm dead set on walking for my MBA this summer. It's all the way in Utah but I feel like I deserve this moment.

Second degree at 45. Did not even consider attending graduation, because life needed my undivided attention.

why not? you earned it
BTW: didn't go to mine when I got out of LSU, I had a things to get started on and time was a wasting

Walking next Friday. It took me 6 years and cost me about 20k after tops.
I spent countless hours running extra butter to fatties and making shots for assholes while they were dog cussing me so I could walk that stage with 0 debt.
Your damn right I'm walking. Will immediately light a cigar and throw back a shot of Blanton's with my two best friends afterwards as well.

I did only because my wife wanted me to. She helped put me through school so I figure it was the least that I could do.

I didn't go to either graduation and I never took time off from school...took a bit longer than the average person, but I also got my PhD in partying (so three graduations if you count that fictitious one 'granted' to those who spent 8 years at LSU) so there's that.

I finished my undergrad. elsewhere in 1988. Went back a few years later for my Masters at LSU and finished in July 1999. That was the first year the eliminated the August graduation ceremony.
To go to commencement, I would have had to go to December graduation. I would have had to book my own substitute for work and take a vacation day. Come to find out, our son was born in and around that time, 8 weeks early anyway. Good thing we didn't plan to go.
It would only have been my pregnant wife, my parents, and our son.

Went back and got my masters 8 years or so after graudating. I walked in graduation mainly just bc my mom asked me too so she could go see it.
Walking is largely just about celebrating the achievement more than the actual ceremony, nothing wrong with wanting to tip your cap no matter how old you are imo.

Good deal. My sister is a professor for a few online programs, but not that one.

Everyday is a reason for celebration. Learning and accomplishing a worthwhile goal is a reason to give thanks and celebrate.

Congrats Nursley, hope your day ends with liberal use of some smash box primer oil.
