We consider CPTC to be a fall semester event, with students being eligible to compete if they are full time during that semester.   Specifically, we want students to be considered full time when the regional event occurs. So if they graduate in September, they would not be eligible for this season. If they graduated late November/December, they would be eligible.  As long as a student is eligible for the regional event we will consider them eligible for finals even if they were to graduate between the two events.
