Disappointed that this is even being considered. Do better, Regis. I understand if this means waiting longer due to the pandemic, but come on, really?

You can’t take this away from people. Not right. And not fair.

Regis had a year to prepare for the graduation ceremony on may 8th. Every major can have a different graduation date or time to be able to celebrate the class of 2021 (we all worked hard for this PERIOD). I understand we have to keep the community safe but girrllllll we had a whole inauguration of a president and they still social distanced. I know class of 2021 ain't that big so work something out on God. If we can have a Superbowl with people in a stadium we can CELEBRATE THE CLASS OF 2021.

If they can be so careless to have in person lectures at Regis with 100 students in 1 theater room I’m sure they can figure something out for graduation.

There should be a way to have the graduation ceremony. The lawn outside Regis would be perfect! Hold several ceremonies with social distancing the week leading up to May 8th. Safety is definitely important but truly believe this is possible.

Regis had over a YEAR to figure this out. We aren’t a big school. Why am I paying 10k a semester for them to cancel graduation for the second year in a row. They used little creativity and it shows here. Totally disappointed I spent my 4 years (and money) here at regis

These students have worked so hard. They deserve an in person graduation. Mask up and walk.

Absolutely ridiculous. My daughter and her class studied so hard and worked so hard for this. This is what Regis does. So disappointed with this College. I wish my daughter had chose a different college to attend. That’s all it’s been is disappointment with this school. Especially when their is never any communication.

I suggest an August graduation. The country should be vaccinated by then!!

By May, I really think the pandemic will be a lot more under control and these students should be able to have their ceremony.

I “graduated” class of 2020 from Regis, and was not given a graduation due to the pandemic. Everyone has worked so hard during the pandemic. The class of 2021 deserves an in person graduation. Especially if other schools have been able to do graduation in person safety.

If every a class needed something to celebrate it is the class of 2021. They lost half their junior year, their entire senior year and for those working on a nursing degree have been front and center fight Covid 19. They gave up their in person classes, their social lives so that they could stay healthy to be a part of the front line; they need something more then a Zoom graduation. Hold smaller ceremonies and hold them in August if that is what has to happen, but celebrate all the hurdles this group has overcome. If the Superbowl can have 22k people I think Regis can find a way to hold an in person smaller ceremony for these students. Hold a graduation by major or something along that line; let their Dean's be their guest speaker or video one guest speaker at each small ceremony. These students have worked far too hard and paid their tuition now let them walk in person. It is too early to simply cancel any and all chances for them to be acknowledged as they should. I am extremely disappointed that Regis has been so quick to end any chance for an in person graduation. The weekend of August 7th and 8th looks like a good time to hold something

My grandchildren deserve to walk at graduation. I want to see them become nurses as i was a nurse as well. It is too soon to make this decision

I am so sorry Regis has let you down too. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, as I, and many others, are also frontline workers. Thanks for all you do and I hope that Regis can reconsider this decision.

Class of 2021 has already suffered enough, too soon to call graduation virtual. They deserve it.
