Highschool I graduated on stage cause I wanted to graduate with my friends.

Community college I skipped out on graduation and had them mail me my associates diploma. The reason being was graduation for the community college was going to be in December and I was transferring to university that August.

University I definitely walked on stage.

This time I don't know I'm probably going to have the university I am currently mail me my diploma for my masters degree honestly.

I had to walk the stage every time (graduating preschool, HS, juco, and uni PLUS anytime i won an award). I begged everytime to just be mailed my stuff. Walking was optional but no my mom was like OH NO YOU GONE WALK 😭🤣

Have not yet graduated from college.

In high school, it was a platform. We did ours outside in front a huge Georgian building with white pillars called Archbold. We got up, walked to the stairs on the one side of the platform and crossed to the other side. Sort of a stage but it wasn't.

Here's a picture at my high school now. We didn't have the weird cover things over the platform.

Skipped it for college... that stuff is lame. Skipped it for High School as well.

I think that stuff is for attention freaks or people with parents that want to take pictures.

Boot camp was a forced ceremony, but I sure didn't have anyone fly out just to watch me march around like a retard.

Stage, they said it was mandatory but my teacher could've been lying.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I'm not allowed on campus to walk across the stage for grad school because I don't have a covid passport. Even after all this time, high minded academia still enforces their othering of those outside their echo chamber by armed guards.
