How does a dormie get a degree?
witch:
OK. I finally got some dormies to move in. -discovered I had put 2jeffs dormiegenderchoosing hack in my downloads folder, of course it conflicted with Pescado's nodormieregen. So, finally figured that one out!
Now my sims are busy at uni, busy rampaging and romancing.
If I want a dormie to move in, so they can get a degree at the same time as my sims, how do I do it? To marry a dormie, they just put a ring on each other's finger, I don't even get the proper marriage arch option. There is no 'move in' option. I could graduate my sim and get the dormie to move in to the n'hood, but then the dormie misses out on the degree.
I could use Inge's teleporter but I can't believe Maxis left no way to get hitched with the dormies and move them in with the family at uni. I don't want to move the sim to a flat, I'm putting a batch through uni together.
Any ideas?

if you graduate your sim and move them back to the neighbourhood, then marry a dormie... the dormie comes as though they have graduated... or at least, that's what's happened in my game... I was always able to marry them properly (with the arch) and all, too...

Renatus:
I had a dormie I wanted to marry to a CAS sim, but I wanted him to have a real degree. When his CAS girlfriend finished her last semester, I had her move onto an empty Uni lot, invite her boyfriend over, then ask him to move in (since he had been a resident at her dorm). Once he was controllable, I had her move to the neighborhood and him back to the dorm. It was a pretty roundabout way of doing it, but it got the job done. Not sure if it has any after effects, the boyfriend sim bored me to tears and I stopped playing them altogether.
Ancient Sim:
You need to move your own Sim into a residential lot or Greek lot, then move the dormie in. You can't move anyone into a dorm, they have to move in for themselves. I've put quite a few dormies through degrees now.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the dormie as a dormie, take control of them temporarily and send them to class/do assignments/whatever, then relinquish control when you are fed-up of them and they'll go back to being dormies again. When they've graduated, they will move out as long as you keep control of them. That way you don't ever have to actually move them in and they can get their degrees whilst remaining in a dorm rather than a residential lot. You can always use one of the mods that allow them to go through Uni all at once (i.e., cheat so they keep getting full bars and go to their finals one after the other - that's the best way to do it if you have someone waiting for them in the neighbourhood and you don't want the hassle of playing them through the entire 4 semesters).

Is there any way of telling what the dormie majored in if I use this method?
Were you able to marry them in a dorm or did you have to move them in to a house first?
