Do I have to attend the ceremony in order to graduate?
We welcome as many of our students to celebrate at the graduation ceremony as possible. However, attendance at graduations is optional.
If you cannot attend graduation, your degree will still be valid, and degree certificates and final transcripts are dispatched within two months of your award being conferred.
How many guest tickets am I able to book?
At present, we anticipate that each graduand will be able to book two free guest tickets for the ceremony. Details on requesting additional tickets will be available when the booking system opens.
I or one of my guests have accessibility requirements
Please email graduation@lstmed.ac.uk to let them know. For all enquiries, please include your name and programme of study.
Will the ceremony be live-streamed and recorded?
The ceremony will be live-streamed and recorded. A link to the live stream will be sent to all graduating students approximately one week before your Graduation day.
I can no longer make it, how do I cancel my ticket/gown hire?
Please email graduation@lstmed.ac.uk to let them know. For all enquiries, please include your name and programme of study.
Can I or my guests bring children to the Graduation ceremony?
Yes, children are able to attend the graduation ceremony. Please note, the ceremony is a formal event which will last around 60-90 minutes and we would ask that young children or babies are able to sit quietly for that period of time so as not to disrupt the proceedings for others.
All guests, including young children (over the age of two), will require their own guest ticket and you will need to make sure that you book these before the deadline.
On the Day
What time do I need to arrive?
Timing is currently still being confirmed but the ceremony will be held in the morning.
Late guests or graduands will not be allowed to enter the hall once the ceremony has started so it is important you allow enough time for your journey, gowning and photography.
Will I be able to book formal photography on the day?
Photography needs to be booked by 25 November. There is very high demand for official graduation photography and there will be no opportunity to sign up on the day, so it is important that you book online. You will receive details of how to access the online booking systems via email nearer the graduation date.
You are still able to take your own photographs before, during and after the ceremony.
