No need for transcripts.

So anyway....just when can you check the box? Is it after completing your final exam in your final course? After receiving your final grade in your last class, or not until actually in receipt of your diploma?
To play it safe I’d say the last of those 3, but of course if allowed earlier, I’d jump on it because you just never know when the phone will ring.
Thoughts?

HR is anything but reasonable. To them it will look you lied to get an interview then changed it after. Just remember: if 19 other people in your interview didn’t have that issue then they’ll get the job. Just the way it is.

I agree that this is all kind of silly. On all my apps I just put 31DECXX because I graduated in December. I am sure I could find the date I 'walked' but who cares. I have had 3 RJ job offers, an LLC, 2 ACMIs, and a legacy. No one has ever even mentioned my undergrad degree other than to ask how professor X is doing. Once you have confirmation that you are graduating - check the box, and put the last day of the month. Congrats on the degree!
