hi, the sim needs 12 credits to graduate, so pending on how many classes per sim week u have the sim take, it can take 3 or more weeks. its always 6pm when it registers end of semester, graduation is between 10-11am next day after final semester, but it actually doesn't register to leave or graduated till 6pm, when u get the diploma in inventory and an event timer of packing up to leave.
If u have seasons holidays sometimes throws off the final exam day and it might not register that last class to be exam day. I usually edit the holiday to allow go to class, when i am playing a student.
There's no bar telling u your grade, u can call/email the professor and they'll tell u how well u r doing.
things to know: skills level adds to your grade, when u go to class on time, do homework, u get a notification of 'confidently' of going to class, if u get to class late, miss homework, u get 'decently', but if u still have low skill for that class, even if u have 4 confident class attendance u could still end up with a B or less. i don't know what the levels should b, i try to get at least level 3-4 by end of 1st semester, by the 4th semester i try to be by 6 or more.
it takes about 2 and a half sim hours to complete homework, between 3-4 hours for term papers/presentations, but they r poor quality, u have to spend another 3-4 hours editing them to outstanding.
i use those instant drinks in aspiration rewards like fun, hygiene, unless most bars r low then i use moodlet solver to raise all bars then do homeworks,papers,presentations. i also do papers/presentations the 1st 2-3 days of semester to them out of the way.
Also i try to fulfill the new academic aspiration, cause u can only do most of it while in university, like final term grade 1s,can't remember each tier right now, but its best to get to level 6 research to get to 3rd tier which is graduating, the last tier u can do later.
thats all i can think of right now, enjoy... no wait...bicycles are a pain in general but in foxbury cause of the stairs, it can slow your sim down going to class, in brightchester it has saved me when my sim was at far end swimming or getting collectibles then going to class
