I hope you are a better quack than travel organiser!!!

Ouch! I was doing okay til they changed the date on me

My last degree was delivered via Australia Post:shock: Saved on the gown hire as well!:mrgreen:

My last degree came with a typo. It was conferred on the Eighteeth Day Of December. Would have been funny if I was a dentist.

Ha hilarious! It doesn't give you a great deal of faith in your university Ours sent an email in March saying "welcome back to uni!". Which is great, except we start at the beginning of January. Idiots.

My other pieces of paper are still sitting in their cardboard tube. Somewhere. I think. Maybe I should find them ...

 

[Flashback]

Just another thing to note is that we had a few people at our graduation ceremony who weren't part of the Business School graduating also ; so you may be able to attend the same round of ceremonies but one of the later ones (assuming the one originally scheduled isn't the last one available....).

And the plot thickens ... an email just went out to our whole cohort saying there's been a few complaints about the date and that they are considering changing the date of events which can be changed (eg the school events, grad ball etc). Ceremony is fixed, but again, I don't really care about that.

Could work out well I've also found a reasonable one way fare, AK CNX-HKT then V australia HKT-PER-BNE for <$500.

Final update (presumably).

The university has reneged on several promises to release results, and they still haven't been released. Since I'm leaving the country Saturday morning, I'm not willing to risk rushing back for any graduation events when there's no guarantee I'm graduating. Consequently I'm booking le meridien in Chiang Mai instead, and getting that ball gown and shoes mentioned in Hoi An

Thanks heaps for all ideas and opinions people!

Sounds like pretty poor form by the university

Good to hear you’ll be sorted either way anyway.

Oh, and also - congratulations on finishing medicine. It takes a lot of dedication, time and effort. Good luck for your career ahead.

So there's possibly some unqualified Doctors floating around?

Ha the assignment was a review of statistics for a fake study that they made up numbers for. I think you'll be safe
