Riddle me this?
What is capable of talking anywhere in the world, yet has little money of their own, is well educated, but can't yet get a job, and is able to damage anything with just their fingers?
If you guessed a bunch of angry uni students with WiFi made to wait another 5 months to graduate than you are smarter than we thought. Use those smarts to bring back graduation to December

I think that many of these students have already found employment and therefore were planning around the original date. It is only fair to include them in the ceremony they were originally promised

Give Us Back our December Graduation. Don't change the year that were given the impression their graduation was December.
Why was nursing selected over engineering ??? As you know - Nursing offers new grad positions in the new year and hopefully most will be working shift work all over the state. Some may not be able to take the time required to attend their own graduation. Many have already organised for families to attend a December Graduation. This matter should have been done at the beginning of the year not half way through.!!!!

Move the graduation dates back to December. Participating in 5 years of uni then having to wait another 6 months is ridiculous.

Another option really needs to be put into place instead of moving the graduations later

I believe this action of graduation date shifting will effect many who have previously arranged matters to accommodate

Its not fair for the internationals or people from out of the area, time the uni considered other people than themselves!

Changing the dates of graduation for future years would be fine given the notice. However, I think that graduates of 2015 should be exempt of this new rule. We are only 7 months out of our expected graduation date. Families residing outside of the area have already planned and paid for domestic and international travel (which isn't cheap to change) and students (myself included) are looking for job opportunities outside of the general Illawarra region, meaning that a change in the graduation date could interfere with new job placements.

I do NOT want to graduate next year as this will be so inconvenient for us as nurses to get the time off- especially if we are doing our new grad away from the area

Not happy about this I have been planning this night for a while and have family travelling over 500km. I feel for the international students whose visa's run out and wont get a graduation ceremony unless they travel back. Should have been changed for next year not within 6 months.

I am a first year undergraduate student. But I think that the brothers who graduated should be given their graduation ceremony earlier
