Were you awarded a certificate? Was one mailed to you? I do understand that graduation is not compulsory, it is a ceremony. For me, in addition to receiving my certificate of completion, i want to attend the physical graduation, whichever part of the US.
I believe your job is more interested in your certificate and not if you graduate. So ask for your certificate and present it to your job. If it makes you feel any better, Pennfoster, usually do a completion letter that will charm anyone. Did you get one such letter.
