We, the 5th semester RN students at Carrington College, do NOT agree with the proposed graduation date of January 1, 2021. We are willing to do whatever it takes to stick to our original graduation date (December 18, 2020); this includes, but is not limited to, giving up our August break at the end of the semester to accommodate this semester’s one week push back to 05/11/2020.

This petition is not a call for rebellion towards respected school authority but a legitimate desire for a kind and thoughtful reconsideration of the change of schedule for the graduation. As a parent, any extra days to prolong school entails additional cost, especially that my daughter is an out-of-state resident. We will be forced to rent an extra month for board, not to mention extra expenses together with that. Should she graduate on December 18, she will not have to fly in and out of Arizona after the Christmas holiday. That by itself is an unnecessary use of financial resources. The pandemic already cost us all too much. As intelligent adults, I pray wisdom takes over in this decision-making to complete the education of our children without wasting more of our time and resources.

I have been waiting way too long to be pushed back again, why do I have to pay the price for something that isn't my fault and had no control over. This whole pushed back graduation date is extremely unfair to all of us students

My sister Daisy is getting ready to start her 5th semester at Carrington in the RN program. I have seen her put in the work to pass her classes. I don’t think it is fair that her and her class are being told that their graduation date is now pushed out to January 1st when they were promised that the current pandemic would not affect their graduation date. I know that her class is willing and eager to do all that they can to graduate in December as they planned when they signed up at Carrington.

As a parent , I’m appealing to the university to please consider this petition. It would be sad to see these hard working students to still be in school the Christmas break and immediately after and be deprived of the Dec. 18 graduation they were excitedly looking forward to.

Signing in support of all the 5th semester nursing students, but particularly my sister Jenny who I know has made huge sacrifices along with the countless who are affected by the pandemic.
