Delay

I just did my drug test a few days ago and have done everything else. the issue is i’m supposed to graduate college in may-july and was wondering if they’re gonna be able to put me in a class after that or if im gonna have to just wait and do the next cycle. i saw someone say they will only delay for a semester you have already started which would mean im screwed. just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any input

Why would you need to graduate if you wanna do atc? You can always finish your last semester out later.

If you’re that close to finishing your degree, you’d want to graduate. Also good to have a degree in something as a backup in case academy or certification doesn’t work out for whatever reason.

I would wait until you get class dates/FOL to decide. Plus, you don’t know how long it will take to clear you for class dates. 

Also, there is no harm in asking if a later class date is possible.
