About Graduation

We know how important this day is for you and those who have supported you. The information here is designed to give you all the details you need about what to expect and what to do in advance of the ceremony.

What is a graduand?

This is a person who is graduating but hasn't done so yet.

Graduation Registration

All students wishing to graduate, whether you are attending in person or in absentia, need to complete the graduation registration process.

Registration for the Winter Graduation is now closed. The deadline for registering to graduate was midnight (23:59) on Wednesday 5 November.

Guest Tickets

Each graduating student has been allocated a maximum of two guest tickets to buy.

Tickets for children under five are free of charge but must be included as part of the number of guest tickets you've been allocated. Children aged two and under, and who can sit on an adult's knee, do not need a ticket.

We may be able to offer extra guest tickets after registration closes. All attending graduands will be notified by email with details about how to buy them if this is the case.

Please note that any unsold tickets will be put back on general sale after the registration deadline. These tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis.
