Graduation registration
To attend your ceremony, you must register online through the Student Record System by the deadline given in your invitation email.
Registration for Graduands of Summer 2025 will open the week commencing Monday 11 March. You will receive an invitation email on this date giving details of your ceremony and asking you to complete registration. Graduation registration will close at midnight Sunday 18 May.
If you do not register by the deadline date, you will not be able to attend the ceremony. Late requests will not be processed. If you have successfully registered for your ceremony, you will receive a confirmation email, please first check your junk mail, and get in touch if it has not been received.
Your registered graduation details are also available in your Student Record System available from the iexeter app. Please check both your confirmation email and the Student Record System to ensure that the details you have registered are correct.
If you do not receive the confirmation email or your registered details are not correct in the Student Record System, please log an enquiry in SID Online using category “Graduation Registration” as a matter of urgency and before the registration deadline. If you see a problem with your registration not being confirmed or the details requested are not correct and you only raise this after the registration deadline, we will not be able to correct the issue
Changing your Ceremony
Unfortunately, due to the number of students expected to graduate, we are unable to accommodate any ceremony transfer requests within the summer graduation period. This includes anyone doing Flexible Combined Honours/Combined Honours courses.
Transferring to a future Graduation session
Due to the large numbers of students eligible for each graduation session, it is not normally possible to accommodate requests to attend graduation at a different time of year. If you have specific circumstances preventing you from attending your ceremony and would like to request a transfer to a future ceremony, please log an enquiry via SIDOnline using the category “Ceremony Session Transfer”.
Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and depending on the attendance size of the future graduation session. Please note we cannot guarantee your request will be successful and we will not be able to give you a confirmed response to your transfer request before your assigned graduation session.
This is because of the graduation planning and organisation cycle across the year. Winter graduation sessions are scheduled in late August. Summer graduation sessions are scheduled in early February. Therefore, if you are a Winter graduate requesting an exception to transfer to Summer, we will not be able to confirm to you if this is possible until the following February. This means you will need to carefully consider that if you miss your assigned ceremony session, that may be your only opportunity to attend a graduation ceremony as we cannot provide you with a response until after your original ceremony session has passed.
Request guest tickets
Guest tickets (complimentary and additional purchased) will be available after student registration closes. Students who registered before the deadline will receive an email before release and can request up to two complimentary tickets, with the option to buy additional tickets (if available) at the same time. If you have not registered by the deadline, we may not be able to provide you with complimentary tickets and you will need to purchase tickets, if they are available.
Guests without tickets
Guests who do not have tickets for the ceremony can watch the event live via web streaming in the Forum Alumni Auditorium in Streatham, or In the Stannary Bar and Sustainability Café in Penryn. You do not need a ticket to watch the ceremony via the live web stream.
The ceremonies will also be live streamed on our watch the ceremonies page.
Graduand tickets
Graduand’s ticket pack will be emailed to you approximately 7 days before the ceremony. We recommend that you do not print the ticket packs but have them available for viewing on an electronic device. This will save on the usage of paper and reduce the need to handle documents by hand on the day.
Graduands and guests will enter via different entrances to the Great Hall, Streatham and the Ceremony Hall, Penryn, so please ensure your guests have access to their tickets to gain entry to the ceremony.
Children
Children are welcome to attend graduation celebrations, however due to the length of the ceremony and the formal nature of the event we do not recommend that young children are brought into the Great Hall, Streatham or the Ceremony Hall, Penryn for the ceremony. Many guests with children prefer to watch the event via the live stream in one of our on-campus locations. A separate guest ticket is required for any child over the age of two who would like to watch the ceremony in the Great Hall, Streatham or the ceremony hall, Penryn.
Please note that we are not able to accommodate pushchairs or buggies in the Great Hall or the Ceremony Hall.
