Preparing for graduation

Graduation Registration for our winter graduations is now closed. Registration reopened on 8th August 2023 with an initial deadline of 22nd August, this was further extended until Monday 4th September 2023.

You must register your intention to graduate whether you wish to attend a graduation ceremony or not. Registration is important to verify that your personal details are correct. If you have not registered then you will not be invited to graduate in 2023, regardless of whether you have been awarded at a Progression and Awards Board, and you will not receive your parchment.

Register your intention to graduate, using the link in your registration email, no later than Tuesday 22nd August 2023. You must do this in order to receive your parchment, regardless of whether you wish to attend a graduation ceremony or not.

There will be no changes made to graduation registrations after this date. If you do not register you will not be able to graduate in 2023, regardless of whether you have been awarded at a Progression and Awards Board.

Ensure all outstanding tuition fees are paid and cleared by Friday 29 September for inclusion in the winter graduation ceremonies. Failure to clear debt by the above date will mean that you will not be able to graduate, you will not be invited to attend a ceremony or receive your parchment.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have confirmed with the Finance Office that you have no debt outstanding. You can make payment via the student portal under My Finance.

Pass all outstanding modules and have your award eligibility confirmed by 8 September 2023 for undergraduate awards and 6 October 2023 for taught postgraduate awards for inclusion in winter ceremonies.

You must graduate at the first set of ceremonies available to you after your award is confirmed by a Progression and Awards Board. You cannot choose what ceremony to graduate at. For those who are due to graduate at a summer ceremony it is not possible to defer to a winter ceremony if you already have a confirmed award by the dates mentioned in step three.

You must register in order to receive your parchment whether you wish to attend a graduation ceremony in person or not attend (graduate in absentia) and have your parchment posted to your home address. If you do not complete graduation registration by 22nd August 2023 then you will not be eligible to graduate in 2023, regardless of whether you have been awarded at a Progression and Awards Board.

You must ensure that all academic debt has been paid and cleared by 29th September 2023. If you have any outstanding debt past this deadline you will not be invited to attend a ceremony or receive your parchment, even if you are eligible. Any students with academic debt after this deadline will be removed from any graduation listings and ceremonies.
