The standard is since there are over 3,000 students graduating from different schools/programs in Hunter, it is easier logistically to have students not walk across the stage. Many schools across the country do this. It’s already a 3 hour ceremony and there are time constraints. No one wants to sit through 2 more hours to get through everyone’s name, especially with children. They also have to adhere to the Barclay Center venue policies and regulations as well so it isn’t only Hunter. Walking across the stage because you felt like “you earned it” isn’t the way to go. You’ll probably be removed from the building and worse, they can withhold your diploma. I wouldn’t play those games if I worked my ass off for 4 years. Barclay Center takes it very serious when someone attempts to access a stage when not given authorization. It’s a security issue. Sit there for 3 hours, throw your cap into the air, and leave with your family. It’s not that serious.
