UOW makes such a deal about assignment deadlines, how about they learn to meet their own when it comes to student graduation.

Planning on going overseas when my degree is finished. This has really stuffed things up. Will be disappointing not to go to my own graduation. Why would they do this?

University's can take their fees on-time, give these students their dimplomas and graduation ceremonies in time!

This decision makes the university look dysfunctional and incapable for catering for the students preferences. The university had a minimum of three years to recognise how many students would be graduating this year, but yet they left this change with such minimal notice. Not a good look UOW!!!

I think that it's should be fair for all disciplines to graduate at the same time. Waiting 5 months after we officially finish uni is ridiculous.

It's not fair that we have to wait 6 months to have the satisfaction of holding that diploma in front of our family and friends. We will most likely have jobs by then and will most likely miss the day as a result. It's not fair to put that on us. This is a right of passage that we all have worked our asses off for. Change the dates back!

I missed my graduation because of sitting a supplementary exam and I'm missing the July graduation because they are held later and now I'm waiting to graduate in December a year later .

I think it is wrong to change dates when dates have already been put into place. If you are changing dates do so for the next year that is coming in, not the ones that have already programmed this in and have made plans around these dates. Definitely not good for overseas students, and family members who have already made plans for a certain date and now it is changed. I feel sorry for the students who are trying to get their lives organised after university.

It is a disgrace to work alongside your peers with the goal and hope to graduate alongside them. Many of my peers can't attend our graduation, have booked flights for relatives, and only now have been told they wont be having their well deserved graduation ceremony till middle of next year. Completely unjust. Should have been informed long before now!

Like myself there are many people in health science degrees that will be going on to postgraduate study next year. Some of which will be going to study their postgraduate degrees at other Universities. If the ceremonies are to be held in April there is going to be a high percentage of people that can't attend due study commitments and/or living/ studying in another state or country.

One of the best things about graduating at uow was that the ceremonies were actually close to when you finish. Waiting til April takes the feeling of excitement and finality away. It also decreases the chance of people attending graduation, which means less money for the uni...
Kate loves a good graduation!
