Delayed graduation means that college students and graduate students can postpone graduation with the approval of the school when the basic study period has expired and they fail to graduate as scheduled for some reason.

Now there are more and more students in Grade Five and Grade Four. The number of students applying for delayed graduation in a journalism school has increased year by year, and half of the students in the most classes have applied for "delayed graduation". There are various reasons for applying for "deferred graduation": some are for starting a business, some are for postgraduate study, some are for going abroad for exchanges, and some are for getting married and having children ... In a sense, satisfying students' autonomy in choosing education time is a kind of respect for the educated. As a school, there is no need or reason to force students to enter and graduate at the same time. It can be predicted that the flexibility of the university education system and the autonomy of the educated will become a new trend. It is conceivable that with the further popularization of university education, allowing flexible choice of academic system can increase the competitiveness of a university. Delaying graduation has both advantages and disadvantages. For applicants, we should be cautious and weigh carefully, and we should not blindly follow suit. It is understandable to find the "optimal solution" for your future development, but education is, after all, a matter for universities and students. Under the premise of considering personal factors, abide by the relevant regulations of the school. Schools also need to constantly improve their work, put forward corresponding countermeasures, meet the diverse and personalized needs of college students, and make more efforts in "accurate" education. Whether it is buffering the employment of college students, exploring flexible academic system, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, and extending graduation are all good explorations. However, in the specific implementation process, it does not mean that all universities should be eager to extend the academic system. Universities should also consider the actual situation and conduct research and demonstration in combination with the actual needs of students. At the same time, it is necessary to standardize the corresponding system and supporting measures, so that delayed graduation can really play a role.
