I'm graduating a semester early, which means it is going to take me 3.5 years to get my degree. Is there anyway I should indicate this on my resume so people don't assume that I took an extra semester to graduate (i.e. 4.5)?

When I look at resumes I do not care how long it took you to graduate if everything else is solid. I often wish I could have taken a victory lap!
make sure you do not go to work early, do something fun with that extra semester
I'm also doing the same thing.
Well I'm only a second year student at a university. Does graduating early really matter? I started university one full year after I graduated from high school and I plan on attending Richard Ivey after my THIRD year. Yes third, I feel I would get the most out of my education in Ivey with more maturity.
From a recruiting standpoint, there is nothing to gain from graduating early. It does mean you get to start your career/making money earlier but IMO, when I am old, rich, and retired, I would regret not having a blast my 4th year in college when my biggest responsibility after I accepted an offer was to make it to golf by noon on Monday.
I'm only graduating a semester early because I will already have enough credits so there is no point in me paying for the last semester. I will still be at school enjoying senior year. Maybe I will get a part time job. But I am still not sure how to write this on my resume. Should I put 3.5 years in parenthesis after my expected graduation?
