I’ll be wearing Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses during graduation and recording video. The glasses have a small blinking/recording light.
An official photographer will also take a graduation portrait photo of me before I go on stage.
Will that blinking light show up in the professional portrait photo, or is it too dim to appear?
Hi everyone,
I’m attending the WGU Commencement in Seattle in July 2026 and I’m looking for hotel recommendations. The hotel options listed on the WGU website are a bit outside my budget.
Does anyone have suggestions for clean, safe, and reasonably priced hotels near the commencement venue or with easy access to public transportation? I’d also appreciate any tips on areas to stay in or avoid.
Thanks!
Hi everyone! I recently received an Excellence Award for MBA Capstone Task 2 (Business Analysis / Stockholder Report), and now I’m a little confused about the Capstone Excellence Award changes.
I noticed the WGU Excellence Award Program page was edited on April 8, 2026, and I don’t really see the old “Capstone Excellence Award” wording anymore. I always thought the Stockholder Report / Business Analysis task was the one eligible for the separate Capstone Excellence Award certificate instead of the standard Excellence Award certificate.
For those who received awards recently specifically for MBA Capstone Task 2:
•Did you receive only the regular Excellence Award certificate?
•Or did you still receive the separate Capstone Excellence Award version?
•Did anything change after April 8, 2026?
•Also, does the award appear anywhere on the transcript or only as a separate certificate/email?
Just curious because older posts seem different from what I received. Thanks in advance!
All tasks submitted, now I’m just refreshing the page every 5 minutes like it’ll suddenly update. I’m excited, nervous, and mildly unhinged. Graduation is right there.
Hey everyone, I’m working on C216 Task 1 and I’m confused about the tactical plan.
In the simulation export (PDF), Q5–Q6 compensation fields are always 0.0 because the sim doesn’t calculate future quarters.
But in my presenter notes, I say that compensation stays stable across Q4–Q6 as part of my HR strategy.
My Excel tactical plan does include all required Q5–Q6 decisions (ads, digital marketing, production volume, productivity loss, sales team, pricing, capacity). Only the financial fields like compensation/COGS/revenue show 0.0 because the sim doesn’t generate those.
Is this normal? Will this cause a revision?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’ve completed all my prerequisite courses for an MLT program, but I wasn’t accepted because I couldn’t secure a hospital for clinical rotations.
I’m really motivated to become an MLT, but I’m stuck at this step and not sure what to do next. I’m based in Washington and open to online programs, but I understand clinical training is still required.
For those who’ve been in a similar situation:
How did you find a hospital or lab willing to take students?
Did your program help arrange clinical sites, or did you have to find one yourself?
Are there specific hospitals, labs, or programs in Washington (or nearby states) that are more open to accepting students?
Any advice or tips would really help. I’m willing to put in the effort. I just don’t know where to start.
Did anyone here get an Excellence Award for C207 (Data-Driven Decision Making), either Task 1 or Task 2?
Curious what you did differently or what made your work stand out.
