    Default Almost done

    Commencement was held this morning for the University of Phoenix Class of 2016. I have 9 credits remaining (4 classes) but by school regulations, those with 9 credits remaining are eligible to participate in this years commencement.

    Quite an accomplishment Marshall! It takes a lot of will, effort, dedication, drive etc. to do this at this time of our lives! Your wife should have gotten you a selfie stick to go along with the T-shirt though! Less chance to hurt your neck!

    Yes. Used to have commencement every 6 months but trimmed down to once a year and different times in the year.
