DEGREE CEREMONY
Information Brochure
Dear Student/Former Student
This brochure has been sent to you as you have indicated that you wish to
have your degree conferred at one of the 2008 ceremonies, which will be
held in the Great Hall.
This brochure is designed to inform you of the detailed arrangements for
the day. Further on in this brochure, you will find a full schedule of all the
ceremonies taking place. If you are in any doubt as to which ceremony you
should attend, please call the Degree Ceremonies Office (0113 3434117).
No further information will be sent to you regarding your ceremony. The fact
that you have received this brochure means that we expect you to attend
your ceremony. It is your responsibility to check with your Department that
you have successfully completed your award.
If for any reason you are now unable to attend your ceremony, it is
important that you let us know as soon as possible. Please complete
the degree conferment change form enclosed and return it to the
address detailed below.
The ceremony is a formal occasion and you will, therefore, be
required to wear the academic dress of the University (further
details on pages 7-9). Please direct any queries regarding your
academic dress to the robemakers; not to the University.
To provide you with a lasting reminder of your achievement, the
University has also secured photography, video, certificate framing
and other services. Further details and order forms can be found
in this brochure.
If you have not already completed them, may I take this
opportunity to wish you every success with your studies.
Yours faithfully

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
AM I ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND?
You are eligible to attend if you have:
Successfully completed your award
If you have received this ceremony brochure you are currently registered to attend
your degree ceremony within this ceremony period. This does not mean that you have
successfully completed your programme of study.
It is your responsibility to check with your School or by logging onto the portal that

on the portal from 26th November for a limited time only. In the event that you have been
unsuccessful, your invitation to attend a degree ceremony will be considered withdrawn.
What if I have lodged an appeal?
If you have lodged an appeal that is unresolved it is not advisable to attend your degree
ceremony as your appeal will be void.
Paid all outstanding fees
Any student who is in debt to the university on 13th June (for July Ceremonies)/
14th November (for December Ceremonies), will no longer be eligible to attend their
degree ceremony.
I don’t know if I have outstanding fees, how do I check?

Please respond to this urgently. All cheque payments must have cleared by 13th June/
14th November.
If you are uncertain of your fees status please contact both the Accounts Receivable Office

CHANGING YOUR DEGREE
CONFERMENT CHOICE
Can I attend a ceremony on a different day to my
department?
No, unfortunately you must attend on the allocated day and
time within this ceremony period.
Can I attend within an alternative ceremony period?
Yes, the University holds ceremonies in both July and
December. If the allocated date within this ceremony period is
inconvenient, you will be eligible to attend whichever alternative
ceremony period is applicable.
Do I need to notify the ceremonies office if I can no longer
attend my ceremony?
YES. Please fill in the change of conferment form included in
this brochure or email the ceremonies office
(ceremonies@adm.leeds.ac.uk) to inform us of your change of
plans. You will be given a choice of graduating in absentia or
attending a ceremony in the future. College students need to
contact their own college to inform them of any changes.
What happens if I’m registered to attend my degree ceremony
and I don’t turn up on the day?
If you have chosen to attend a degree ceremony but find you
are unable to come on the day you will be recorded as absent.
You will receive a letter at your registered permanent address,
asking you to amend your conferment choice. If you do not
respond by the specified deadline, you will be conferred in
absentia and your certificate will be posted to you. You will not
be eligible to attend a future degree ceremony.
I have already had my certificate posted to me, can I still
attend a degree ceremony?
NO. If you have already received your certificate via the
post you have been conferred in absentia and are no longer
eligible to attend a degree ceremony. If you did not wish to be
conferred in absentia and believe this has taken place in error
then please contact the ceremonies office for further advice.
PREPARATION
TICKETS
WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?
Both graduands and guest tickets are free of charge for the degree ceremonies. Graduands
will be allocated a specific seat at the tickets desk. Guests may sit anywhere in the Great
Hall excluding the area reserved for graduands as guest seating is not numbered.
To participate in the ceremony you are required to wear Academic Dress.
Academic dress for bachelors and masters degrees consists of a black gown with the
appropriate hood for your degree. For details on how to order your academic dress
please see page 9. Here are some examples:
How many tickets am I entiitled to and how do I get them?
In addition to your own ticket you will be allocated two guest tickets. They are available for
collection from the Degree Ceremonies Reception Desk in the Parkinson Building on the
day of the ceremony.
Tickets will not be posted to you
What if I would like more tickets?
We work on the basis that the hall will be at its full capacity if all graduands attend the
ceremony with two guests and therefore it is not possible to determine in advance how
many spare seats there will be.
Where tickets are available, they will be
allocated on a first come first served basis
from the Degree Ceremonies Reception
Desk in the Parkinson Buillding. Graduands
will only be able to obtain a maximum of
two extra tickets. Should extra tickets be
available, they can be collected at the
following times on the day:

need a ticket to view this. This faciility may even be more suitable for some guests due to a
clear visibility of the stage when the graduands are presented with their award.
Higher degrees often wear coloured gowns and hoods
and in some instances, a velvet hat.

main entrance and 20 to 25 minute walk to the Great Hall.

the car park will remain open until 7pm.

ON THE DAY
THE CEREMONY
PHOTOGRAPHY AND MEDIA
How long will the ceremony last?
Can I take my own photos during the ceremony?
Each ceremony will last approximately one
hour (depending on how many graduands
are attending).
Yes. All graduands and their guests are entitled to take photographs and make videos
throughout the ceremony. However, guests and graduands are expected to behave in a way
that is considerate to others and respectful of the solemnity of the occasion.
Where do I sit?
The University will be filming a video of each ceremony which will be transmitted
simultaneously on the web. Photos may be taken during the ceremony and around the
campus and these may be used in future publications. By attending the ceremony all
graduands and their guests are deemed to accept this practice and waive any right they
may have in these activities.
Graduands are seated according to their
qualification and programme of study. You
will be given your own graduand ticket
when you collect your guest tickets. The
ticket will specify a particular seat number.
You MUST sit in the seat allocated to you,
this ensures the correct distribution of
certificates during the ceremony. Under no
circumstances should you sit in any other
seat during the ceremony.
Guest seating is not numbered and
therefore guests may sit anywhere in
the hall, excluding the area reserved for
graduands.
What happens during the ceremony?
At the appropriate time you will be directed
onto the stage by a ceremony marshal.
Graduands are ‘admitted to the degree’ with
a handshake; it is customary for men to
bow and women to curtsey. You will receive
the certificate on stage and return to your
allocated seat. At the end of the ceremony
you will process out of the hall behind the
academic procession and can meet your
guests outside.

provided for your photograph).

Photographic Suggestions
Glasses - If worn may give reflections. We would therefore suggest that unless you wear them all the time you consider not wearing glasses for your portrait.
If in doubt please consult your photographer.
Appearance - Please check your hair and attire before having your portrait taken as we cannot be held responsible for your appearance. Mirrors are provided
for this purpose.
What to Wear - For men, a dark single-breasted suit or jacket, together with a shirt and tie always looks smart. Ladies will find that a front buttoned blouse
under a suit or jacket, or some means of securing the hood in place, such as a brooch, is always helpful.
