early graduation

Finishing school sooner

Early graduation is completing a degree or diploma program ahead of the standard timeline, typically by taking extra courses, testing out of requirements, or accumulating credits faster than usual.

High school students might graduate in three years instead of four; college students might finish a semester or year early.

She's on track for early graduation if she keeps up her course load.
