How does a dormie get a degree?

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.
Ah ha. Thanks.

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.
Without macrotastics and college rampage, nah, I'm far too lazy to be that organised. :P I have difficulty spotting the little buggers even, here's a dormie, where's a dormie, there's a dormie, too late, vanished again.

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).
and a mod like that might be...? 8)

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.
Yes, that's what I would have tried today, just to see if she could move him in that way. I might wait till a couple have graduated though, I'm running six sims in a dorm and that's enough if I want to do any plot development for the individual sims, I reckon!

I'm not sure, but does the Diploma give their major?

It seems to be that if the dormie has never been controlled by a player (is a randomly generated dormie, not Marla Biggs, or the Sharpes or that Phoenix guy, etc), then when a sim from the neighborhood marries that dormie, s/he is given all six wants slots and a degree in a randomly chosen major. One of my characters married a dormie named Lakshmi Graham, and it took two tries to get all the wedding pictures. The first time she came into the family with 11k and a degree in physics, the second time she had 17k and a degree in drama. I don't even control dormies with the mind-control mirror anymore, for fear it will make it so I actually have to play their way through school.

Well, I just moved Stella Terrano into a house, and her dormie boyfriend moved in too (Amar something) and they seem quite happy together, and since she's got to get her degree, it's no more bother to get him to get his too. And he can sleep in a BED, instead of sleeping standing up behind the door of his dorm room!
And I just noticed something interesting! Dormies who move into houses and become playable can do something on the computer that other sims can't, and least, Amar can - he has the extra option "Hack Grades"! I haven't needed to use it for him, but it's obviously an option worth bearing in mind!
