Ally Thornton will not be allowed to graduate at Leeds Trinity University. Leeds Trinity was awarded University status after she enrolled and will have to go to the University of Leeds to graduate. Leeds Trinity University will not allow her to graduate with her friends and classmates which is not fair and totally illogical.


Please sign this petition to show your support so that we may try and convince the University to change its mind and let Ally graduate with her friends. We need to show that we care for one of our Trinity family, and that we think this matter isn't fair.

Leeds Trinity is hiding behind petty bureaucracy while pulling a student away from the people she studied alongside for years. I am busy drafting formal demands to the administration because their refusal to let Ally cross the stage with her cohort is a pathetic insult to our entire community.

The fact that you can opt to not turn up and receive your degree in the post tells us that where you graduate isn't important. The fact that we still have to wear specific gowns and hats at a specific location says it all really. We submit our work electronically, and I can order take away on the toilet, please got get out of the past Leeds and hand people their pieces of paper where they want.

It doesn't make sense not to allow Ally to graduate with her classmates. Noone deserves to have their day ruined by having to graduate alone!

Ally should be allowed to graduate with her fellow peers, graduation is a big part of getting/finishing you degree and if ally can not celebrate this with her classmates/friends it's would be such a shame.

I can't graduate without my bestest friend!!! They're just scared you're going to upstage them with your fabulous hair.

Ally should ABSOLUTELY be allowed to graduate with her peers. Totally ridiculous that she shouldn't be allowed!

Graduation day without Ally Thornton would be like Deal or No Deal without Noel Edmonds. Art Attack without Neil Buchanan. Blue Peter without that sexy Indian woman who's now married to Charlie Brooker. Let her graduate where she belongs, you evil degree merchants! Tar in advance x

The fact that one fantastic student should not be allowed to graduate with the rest of her graduating pals is shockingly appalling. sort it hun.
