AUBURN, Alabama -- Cam Newton is scheduled to graduate from Auburn University in May 2015, and perhaps sooner if he can find some free time to enroll in two more classes in the summer or fall.



The All-Pro quarterback with the Carolina Panthers took three courses this spring while bouncing between Charlotte and the Plains, and recovering from a surgery on an injured ankle in March.



The former Heisman winner at Auburn provided a behind-the-scenes peek at a recent study session -- a "CrAM-sess1on(lol) as he calls it -- on Instagram on Wednesday.

"This is my LAST CrAM-sess1on(lol) before my last 2 finals of this semester!" Newton writes on his Instagram account. "I will have 2 more credited hours to complete before I graduate but, I will be happy when it's all over and I will finally fulfill the promise I made to my mom to graduate and get a college degree! Because LORD knows this process has been burdening at times, BUT I KNOW IT WILL BE WELL WORTH 1T, in the long run!"

The spring semester at Auburn ended May 2. Summer classes are scheduled to begin Friday.



Newton doesn't have much free time, but has spent the last two spring semesters splitting time between Charlotte and Auburn as he tries to complete coursework.



Newton underwent surgery to tighten ligaments in an ankle in March. Recovery time was expected to span four months.
