As you might all know on the 3rd of May there was an information meeting organized by Johan Larsson, Director of Studies at JIBS, because there were questions asked by students about the JIBS Graduation Ceremony. There has been a discussion regarding who would be able to attend the ceremony.
The initial requirements for attendance were 30 ECTS missing credits for Civilekonom and 2-year master students and 22,5 ECTS for the remaining program students. After complaints this changed to 30 ECTS missing credits to all students. At the Information meeting Johan Larsson clarified that JIBS changed this requirements back to the initial requirements.
Hereby students who are having one re-examination left will not be able to attend the graduation ceremony. The re-examinations are set for the last week of May and therefore the results of the re-examination will not be published on time for students to attend the graduation ceremony.
With this petition I want to make a statement to the board of JIBS that they should not limit the accessibility to the graduation ceremony to certain students. All students with one re-examination besides the ECTS of the last term should be able to attend the graduation ceremony regardless the program they study.
Regards,
Bart Oostveen, Student Strategic Entrepreneurship at JIBS

I really did not think this would gain this much steam when I typed it up late at night but wow you all are showing up in a big way. It feels like the school has to look at us now because this energy is just wild and it proves that missing one tiny exam shouldn't keep anyone from walking across that stage with their friends.

Seriously? Just one exam? Let people walk.
This is so unfair. We worked hard for years and should be allowed to walk with our friends even if one grade is still being processed.
So frustrated right now. After everything we went through to get here it feels like a slap in the face. Please fix this.
Total mess. JIBS needs to figure this out ASAP. This is our big day.
Ridiculous rules. Why change the goalposts now?? Let us graduate!

My family is flying in from overseas just for this. They really think we should just tell them to go home??
