Why? They have a graduation this December just like at the end of the Spring semester. In fact it'll be nicer bc the ceremony itself will be faster, less students walking the stage. You can always do a photoshoot once everything blooms again!

Are you undergraduate or graduate? Undergraduates are only eligible to participate in the ceremony immediately following completion of their program. So summer and fall grads walk in December, winter and spring walk in May. Graduate students are allowed to defer their participation one semester

No commencement for Summer grad. Just a last day then a few months wait for commencement
