"It's official," Haskins wrote. "Tassel moved from right to left! I'm a graduate! #UTC #TheaterandSpeech #GoMocs."
"As successful as some have said I've been, from the incredible success of Saved by the Bell, other quality acting roles, the books I've written, and even UTC Distinguished Alumni in 2000, there's always been something missing for me – my college degree," Haskins said in a statement on the university's website.
Haskins wrote that he left school initially "just short" of receiving a liberal arts degree, and added that he's thought about finishing it for several years.
"Now, with the forward thinking policies of this great university that I love so much that have benefited many other graduates, I join these graduates in holding my head high having earned my liberal arts degree in theater from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga," he said.
In a livestream from the ceremony, Haskins can be seen taking the stage at around 1:36:45 while the Saved By the Bell theme music played. people
