Graduation checklist
Please use the checklist below:
- Visit our Eligibility page to see the answers to some FAQs regarding eligibility.
- It is essential in most cases to apply to graduate before your final award has been released and is visible via your online results. You can check when you will receive your final results on our Assessment Results page. You can access your results by logging in to Student Self Service (SSS). If you are unsure whether you will be potentially eligible to graduate at the upcoming ceremonies, you can speak to your Student Advisor or your Personal Tutor.
- If your award is not visible on your online results page by 6 June 2025 23:59 UK time, you will not graduate this Summer. Your application will automatically become void and you will be refunded for any monies paid. This also applies to applications to graduate in absentia.
- Visit our When can I apply and How do I apply webpages. Applications will open mid-April 2025 and close on 16 May 2025. Late applications will not be accepted.
- Check the date and time of your graduation ceremony and ensure that you arrive at the arrival time stated.
- Clear any outstanding debt with the University by 9 May 2025.
- Visit our Hire your gown webpage. You will not be permitted to graduate in person or be presented to the Presiding Officer without one.
- A professional photographer will be available with a number of photographic studios to take individual or family photographs. We suggest you come along for your photos before your ceremony if possible, or after the reception.
- Carefully read the our web page On the day for further information about what happens on the day of your ceremony.
