Four tickets is an unacceptable number of tickets. Period. You are putting myself and other graduates in positions of having to choose between parents and siblings. Especially those with large or split families.

My daughter is a student at UNCA and deserves The opportunity to have her family and friends attend her graduation so we all may celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime achievement. We believe graduation should be outside on the quad or an alternative venue should be rented for the graduation. Four tickets per graduate is unacceptable especially considering the fact that they pay their tuition.

There are 5 people in my IMMEDIATE family - IE my parents and siblings. It's really mean to force just one of them to sit by themselves to watch a livestream, don't you think?

UNCA should use some of the money they stole from selling more parking passes that spaces to make proper accommodations for graduation

I can understand the rationale for the current graduation location, but I will admit that four tickets per graduating student can be stressful for those who feel that they have to choose between extended family members who have given them incredible support over the years. I have confidence that our school's administration will evaluate the situation appropriately. However, I still want to express my support for these graduates and their families.

The school has a location and resources for a graduation ceremony that allows more than four loved ones to witness this built up moment, and it is frankly ridiculous for the administration to just ignore this.

This is completely unreasonable. As students we have been paying tuition for 4-5 years. The least the university can do is allow us to have more than 4 guests attend. They need to both move it to the quad and consider having multiple ceremonies to accommodate the number of students.

Only 4 tickets is unacceptable and UNCA's administration knows that. I would rather not walk and give my tickets away to other grads than to have to pick and choose between which family members get to see me graduate. Not to mention this prevents basically any UNCA students who are not graduating from going to support their friends and peers??

Graduation is a time for us to celebrate our accomplishments with our friends and family. Many students, including myself, have family that we don't get to see on a regular basis, so graduation is usually a time for us to see them. Limiting students a certain number of tickets gives us the hard choice to pick who to ask to attend and who is to be left out. As graduating seniors, it should be a exciting time and not a time to stress. Please rethink this.

Move it back to the Quad and give us more tickets. 4 is not enough.

4 Tickets?! I have a very large amount of family (17 people) and they all have made arrangements to come to my graduation and 4 isn’t going to cut it.

Two parents, four grandparents, and two siblings = 8 tickets...and that is just immediate family. This parent is very disappointed in the decision to move graduation fro the tradition of the Quad and disgusted that the university would limit so severely the amount of tickets for an inside graduation. Please rethink plans. Families and graduates have vested years leading to this day....and want to share in the graduates' celebration.

It's just not fair for everyone to have to pick their family members or significant others to come seeing them walk for graduation, especially if you are the first in your entire family to graduate, or have family coming abroad. If we have already choose to attend UNCA four-year ago because we believe it is going to be the best place for us, please don't make us have some negative things to regret or disappointed after graduating.

4 tickets is absolutely unacceptable. I have to choose between my dad or brother as to who gets to see me graduate. It took more than 4 people to out me through college. This is wrong and unacceptable. This just makes unca look like it only cares about money and not it's students. Fix it now.
