If you are accepted as a late arrival, you will be given a card detailing your name and award, which you must keep safe.

Graduation is a ceremonial occasion which young children can find tedious. Out of respect for other guests we request that small children should be taken out of the auditorium if they become unsettled during the ceremony so as not to disturb proceedings.

You will have until 8.30pm. on the last day of ceremonies to return your gown to the gowning room. If it is kept after that time then you will need to contact Ede and Ravenscroft direct regarding their returns policy / additional charges (as the contract is between you and the gowning company not the university). The university WILL NOT return on your behalf.
