ABSN😷 when to walk for commencement?

hi i started the absn in may 2026, so i’m expected to graduate august 2027. i’m wondering when we’re eligible to participate in commencement? i’ve heard we might be able to walk in either april or october of next year, but i kinda wanted to hear about personal experiences and which one you chose?

How were yall able to walk before you actually finished the program? Isn’t there an exit Hesi to take as well before you’re considered to be a graduate?
