Hello, I realise this has been raised before, however I would like to add it to hopefully raise greater awareness!

Many students are unhappy with the graduation fees. Glasgow and strathclyde universities have abolished their fees, and I would be curious to know if GCU have any intentions to do so?

The fee's currently stand at £52, plus £42 gown hire, makeing total cost to Graduate £94. This is a difficult cost for many. Graduation is a time to be celebrated, and unfortunatly this has given the event quite a negative response. 

I hope that student representatives can raise this issue and hopefully abolish or reduce costs. 

A recent poll has been made regarding aboloshing these costs that has already reached over 1,700 signatures.
