This is more than just a scheduling issue. Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime moment—a celebration not only for us, but for the families who have supported us every step of the way. With this last-minute change, many of our loved ones will no longer be able to attend. Flights have been booked, plans have been made, and now students are left heartbroken knowing their families may miss the moment they’ve looked forward to for years.
This ceremony marks the end of our journey together. It deserves to be shared with the people who made it possible.
We ask for your understanding, compassion, and support in honoring the original date—so every student can celebrate this milestone surrounded by the ones who matter most.

its really not right to mess with peoples plans like this. graduation is for the kids not the admin convenience
FIX THIS. Schools should care about the students not just the guest list.
Really disappointing how the date keeps changing last minute. It’s caused major inconvenience for graduates and their families, some booked flights, took time off work, and rearranged their whole week just to attend. I really hope the school takes this seriously and sticks to the original date. Otherwise, it comes off as unprofessional and inconsiderate, this should be a day where graduates celebrate with their families, not stress over logistics.
I agree. If the Guest of Honour can't make it, that's fine, but don't change the date. It's the students' day, and their convenience & their families' convenience are more important than anything else.
Respectfully , this more about the students and the parents than « a guy » who will graduate us.
Please change the time atleast, 12pm is not acceptable.
No one from family would be able to attend the new time and date

My parents already paid for non-refundable tickets. This is just ridiculous and so stressful for everyone.
