    Make Graduation In the Summer!

      Graduation as of right now is in November, 4-5 months after you finish your course. Why change it to summer? - Having to take time off work to come all the way back to Cheltenham for a couple of hours, the cost of travel and maybe accommodation, as well as Christmas costs right around the corner, it’s a very costly time of year. - It’s the end of the quarter, harder to take time off! - International students will be going back home and its mega costly to come back just for graduation! – and these students, all students deserve graduation, it’s a pivotal time of a student's life and every student should experience it. - You will be with your friends and graduate with them, all together! Lets get this to the top - lets change it!

    2:40pm on 5 Feb 24 It would cost over 1,000 pounds to come back because I won’t have accommodation anymore as an international student. Having graduation in the summer also allows for the perfect goodbye with your classmates ensuring that majority of the class will be there since most would stay for graduation. Hearing that it is in November is so stressful because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go along with many others

    10:04am on 22 Feb 24 Jan cohorts finish in December, we don’t think it’s fair having to wait pretty much 1 year until we get a graduation day, especially after working hard for 3 years.

    12:46pm on 22 Feb 24 Unfair how we have to wait nearly a year to attend graduation

    12:47pm on 22 Feb 24 It’s unfair for us to wait almost a full year for graduation just because we’re Jan starters.

    12:49pm on 22 Feb 24 Coming back after almost a year working will definitely take away from celebrating what is quite of an achievement

    6:48pm on 22 Feb 24 After working hard endlessly for the what will be the past 3 years, we deserve to have graduation with all our class mates including international students and celebrate our big life achievement!

    2:11pm on 27 Apr 24 As an International student, I most likely will not attend my graduation unless this date is changed. Do better!
