In some circumstances (e.g. military enlistment, university acceptance or scholarship opportunities, etc.), some students may choose to accelerate their path by applying for early graduation during the fourth year.

Once accepted, early graduate candidates are expected to fulfill all graduation requirements in order to receive their diploma at the end of the fourth year.
