I would not bother going to the ceremony if it was 5 months after finishing my course. Change it back to December, and have the ceremonies run over 4 weeks spread out instead of 2!

By not allowing me to graduate in December, you are severely limiting my job prospects. I cannot legally be employed in my health profession until I graduate. I would rather have to walk a little further, and sit through a few hours of presentations in December, than gave to try to arrange time off work next year to attend my graduation session. This is an unnecessary change. Please return to the previous plan.

You work so hard to finish a uni degree you deserve the glory of graduation as soon as you finish. Having to wait 3-4months for the ceremony is a absolutely ridiculous.

I had my graduation ceremony in December, 2014, so I understand how painful it would be to have to wait for a further extended amount of time. Good luck!

UOW's cost-cutting measures seem to keep getting more ridiculous. Why make the effort to get to the campus for 3-5 years and then recieve a degree in the mail? Doubt I would attend a graduation 6 months after finishing.

I am very disappointed with UOW. No one in the 4th year primary cohort was consulted. I do not understand how this is in the best interest of the students or why Business, engineering and information science get preference.

This is not acceptable. There will be so many student who won't come to the graduation if it's in the following year, No one is happy about this!

I am an international student. I am unhappy about delaying graduation because my parents informed their work that they will come to Australia for my graduation ceremony in December 2015 and what is more important, like I mentioned I am an international student I might not be able to stay in Australia for visa issue. I hope that you all consider very well about these uncomfortable situations that students will have.

It's unfair and goes against UoWs community spirit!
