[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the entire thread, and so figure me if I am repeating what others have already said above. If OP's son were at a public university, this would be no big deal at all. My DS is currently a 3rd year student at a large public university, and they have 3 graduations per year - May, August, and December. It is truly no big deal when a person graduates. Depending on the major, it can be difficult to graduate in 4 years (especially engineering). There is absolutely no stigma to "not graduating in the spring of your 4th year with the rest of your class." Like your son, my DS had shaky grades early on, and so it may take him 4.5 years to graduate. But it will be no big deal, as it is commonplace.[/quote]
