54. Yes, that makes sense - a winter graduation date for you

Sun Jan 17, 2016, 12:33 PM

Jan 2016

RE: "my transcript shows that summer term as my last date in attendance, it also says degree conferred in December."

Right. That is typically how a college does it on a transcript - shows the date of your last class attended (in your case, the summer), and then a date of graduation - i(in your case, the following December - winter).

Typically there is no "graduation" ceremony in the summer. It is in the winter at mid-point (Dec or Jan) and then at the end of the year (May or June).

So, my question remains: why didn't the media get a month and year of graduation from Jeb Bush about his alleged college graduation?

And by the way, none of these 9 links reported 3+ years in attendance as was your case. They all reported "less than 3" years.
