This article contains information on the Central University of Technology (CUT) Deferral of the 2022 Spring Graduation Ceremony.
Central University of Technology (CUT) recently announced that the 2022 Spring Graduation Ceremony, which was initially scheduled for September 2022, has been deferred to the 2023 Autumn Graduation Ceremonies. The announcement, which was shared on Twitter using the hashtag #CUTInform, explained that the deferral was necessary due to student protests that occurred at the beginning of the academic year in 2022, which disrupted the academic calendar and affected student performance. In this article, we will provide more details on the deferral and what it means for candidates who qualify to graduate.
THE SPRING GRADUATION DEFERRAL DETAILS
The decision to defer the 2022 Spring Graduation Ceremony at CUT was made by university management. While the deferral is regrettable, it was deemed necessary due to the impact of the student protests on the academic calendar and student performance. Candidates who were expecting to graduate in September 2022 will now need to wait until the 2023 Autumn Graduation Ceremonies to receive their degrees.
GRADUATION FOR CANDIDATES WHO QUALIFY
Despite the deferral of the graduation ceremony, all graduates who have met the requirements for their qualification will be awarded their qualifications in absentia, including final transcripts, at their registered campus on November 4, 2022. These graduates will be included in the next faculty graduation ceremonies to be hosted at the Bloemfontein and Welkom campuses in May 2023.
To confirm graduation details, candidates are advised to check the lists on the CUT Graduate list’s webpage. The final lists were uploaded from March 4-6, 2023. If a candidate does not find their name on the list, they should contact their Assessment and Graduation Unit (AGU) faculty employee, whose contact details are indicated on the Graduate list link.
IMPACT OF CUT SPRING GRADUATION DEFERRAL
The deferral of the 2022 Spring Graduation Ceremony has undoubtedly impacted candidates who were expecting to graduate in September 2022. Many of these candidates may have had post-graduation plans, such as job searches and further studies, which may now be delayed. However, the university has provided the option for in-absentia graduation, which allows candidates to receive their qualifications and move forward with their plans.
It’s important to note that while the deferral of the graduation ceremony is unfortunate, the university is committed to ensuring that all candidates receive their qualifications. The option for in-absentia graduation, as well as the inclusion of candidates in the next faculty graduation ceremonies, ensures that candidates are recognized for their hard work and achievements.
CONCLUSION
The deferral of the 2022 Spring Graduation Ceremony at CUT has caused some inconvenience for candidates who were expecting to graduate in September 2022. However, the university has provided options for in-absentia graduation and inclusion in the next faculty graduation ceremonies, which allows candidates to move forward with their plans while still receiving their qualifications. Candidates are encouraged to check the CUT Graduate list’s webpage for graduation details and contact the AGU faculty employee if necessary. The university remains committed to ensuring that all candidates receive their qualifications and recognition for their hard work and achievements.
