The University of Central Florida is allowing only 2 guests per graduating student for the Spring 2021 graduation ceremony, May 6th-8th.. For the graduating students that come from a background with divorced parents who have both remarried, this poses a difficult situation and can even result in family complications due to “picking and choosing” for example, who gets to attend.

My proposition is to increase the allotted ceremony tickets by 2, creating a total of 4 tickets per student that is participating in the in-person commencement.

Graduation day should be filled with joy and celebration, not graduating students being burdened with a cumbersome decision. Or, even the distress of potentially creating a division between their family or risk the outcome of a fight between family members on their big day.

Please:

Thank you!

We as Knights have the power to do this!

I am truly overwhelmed by the response this petition has received. Seeing so many people care about this issue reminds me that we are not just asking for tickets but seeking fairness for all graduating families.

My parents are divorced and this is honestly just a nightmare. I hate feeling like I have to choose between them on my graduation day. Please let us have 4 tickets.

As Serenity said, I have other family members that deserve to attend my graduation in person. Also, I already know that if I invite my mom and step-dad my dad and his new wife will go berserk and it's definitely going to cause an issue lol

Please increase the number of tickets! Many of us have to pick family members who can attend. I am bringing my husband and my dad so far, but that means my stepmom, grandma, grandpa, mother, and stepdad can’t attend. They have all supported me throughout my college career, and I wish I can bring them!
