If you register to graduate in person and have an academic award, but don’t pay the graduation registration fee, we will graduate you in absentia and include your name and award in the graduation lists. You will not receive an invitation letter and guest tickets and your parchment will be withheld until the fee is paid.
Can I register to graduate if I have University debts?
Yes. You should still register to graduate, pay the registration fee even though you have outstanding debts to the University, (library fines, tuition fees, accommodation fees etc).

If you have outstanding debts to the University by mid-May for June ceremonies and at 30 September for November ceremonies you will not be permitted to graduate.
Students who are in debt to the University will be notified in writing by the Finance Office.
