Ceremony
For general Wharton graduation ceremony FAQs, go to https://graduation.wharton.upenn.edu/faqs/
When submitting the Graduation Application, I am getting the error message “No curricula available.” Has something gone wrong?
It is possible you are getting this message because you have already submitted the Graduation Application. To confirm this in Path@Penn, go to “View Student Profile” and under the Graduation Information section, select the “Active” link next to Graduation Applications.
If no applications are available to view, it is possible that you do not have enough credits (finishing Incomplete grade, NR (not recorded) grade, or applying too soon) or that your GPA is lower than the application threshold. Please contact the MBA Academic Affairs Office (mbaprogram@wharton.upenn.edu) for more information.
