Yes, it is some part of 5 months on purpose, graduation is usually in May. Congratulations!
thanks Amy,
my daughter graduated on April 26 so she was done before May (unless the university considered her to be still on their "books" so to speak). What do you think?
If she graduated in April, then she would not have been a full time student for 5 months. If she was completely done with school before May 1st, then you would not be able to consider her a full time student.
Graduating on April 26 does not meet the 5 month rule.
Extreme example: Jan 31 to May 1 (92 days) qualifies because it was parts of 5 calendar months. Jan 2 to April 30 (120 days) does not qualify as it was only 4 calendar months. That's the rule. So, no, approximate does not count.
I was thinking that the university still considered her "enrolled" until they verified her transcript has having fulfilled the bachelor's degree criteria. The graduation was just the ceremonial component of the process.
That could be . You would have to ask the school to verify that. Please let us know what you find out. To my knowledge, that issue has not come up before , in this forum.
I went thru this a couple years ago in this TT Post
The conclusion was the student had to be attending class during each of the 5 months.
