Hey, I'm in a similar situation. I need more data but I can't get access to the machine I need to make the measurements. I was planning on graduating in May, but now that I can't use the machine for an unknown amount of time, I may not finish by the deadline date. I may finish like 2 weeks after, but that doesn't really help. My degree may not me a May degree, but my uni does have an October degree. I may end up having to apply for that. I may end up applying to jobs regardless because you don't need your degree to get the job technically. Plus (in my situation) I'll be done by May, so I may be able to just explain that I don't have my diploma yet, but my advisors have signed off, I'm done with classes, and coursework etc. I'm trying to stay positive about it. How much longer do you think you have? Does your school have an October degree? I would look into it.
