The ceremonies are grand occasions, steeped in tradition and pageantry, with a colourful procession of Officers of the University and staff in full academic dress, trumpeters and speeches peppered with Latin phrases. Posters on notice boards around all sites will inform you when and where to go to collect your information. The closing date for returned forms for July 2001 ceremonies is Friday 23 rd March 2001 . We are sorry but we will not be able to guarantee attendance or guest tickets for students who return forms after this date. The receipt of tickets or information does not necessarily mean that you have been successful.
Most people like to bring friends and family along to their graduation ceremony.
Because seating in the venue is limited we are only able to offer up to two guest tickets per graduand in the initial stages. We hope to be able to offer more tickets for all ceremonies via a telephone hotline nearer the time. Children - Graduation ceremonies are lengthy formal occasions. Experience has shown that children do get bored and restless. Pushchairs and prams are not permitted in the hall.
