Graduating at the end of the year is something we all look forward to and marks the end of our university journey. Moving it to the following year removes the excitement from the whole event, and is a huge inconvenience for everyone.

We deserve recognition of this life achievement in a timely manner.
graduation is a right of passage which we should spend with our peers who have been on this four year journey with us.
Unfair, Un-justified, and very Unprofessional.

this is very unfair of the uni, poor kids , having worked so hard for all those years, now not able to provide proof of acheivement to potential employers , let alone the cost of parental travel rearrangements. Bad form UOW!

Being from quite a small course everyone in our degree has become extremely close. This was an important experience that would have been lovely to share before we all go our separate ways. With people heading overseas and all over Australia next year to gain employment I doubt even half will be able to make it

I feel it would be so disappointing for students and families to miss out on such a lovely day because of such a big change of dates .

Does this mean I can hand my assignments in 6 months after they are due? Yeah, didn't think so.....
This is ridiculous. We deserve to graduate the same year we finish our studies.

I have been hanging to graduate in December for 4 years and to have that taken away is almost gut wrenching, it's like all our hard work over 4 years has been taken away and given a back seat. We deserve our ceremony at the end of the year with everyone else, as a small cohort we want to graduate together, not next year when we all will not be able to make it. It is unfair to feel that our hard work and achievements have been overlooked.

This change in schedule represents a failure on the university's account to accommodate the increased numbers of students being admitted to the detriment of existing students. This change to graduation schedule diminishes the sense of achievement many graduates are entitled to after years of dedication and hard work

As a parent of a university student, I too do no not understand why the reasoning behind this change,why do we have to wait 6 months to see our daughter graduate, it is a very proud moment for parents as well and 6 months later seems a bit after the horse has bolted. Looks like we will be as disappointed as we will not get to see it if our daughter goes overseas to work. UOW you cannot expect people to put their plans on hold because you now cannot hold a ceremony on a day you already had on your calendar.
