PETITION for MANCOSA TO REINSTATE TRADITIONAL HOODS & NECKBANDS!

We, the registered students of MANCOSA who are also key stakeholders demand that MANCOSA revert back to the use of traditioal hoods/neckbands for graduation ceremonies.

We do NOT want to utilize stoles and do not recognize them as an adequet representation of our academic achievement. We beleieve we should have been consulted of this change since this affects us the most and we appreciate the gesture however do not agree with it.

We call on the use of the traditional hoods to be reinstated by the 2026 Academic Year.
