2017 Graduation Ceremonies: information for staff

Information about the venues and what happens on the day is available on our new Graduation Ceremonies website.

Staff attendance

The online booking form for UCL academic staff who would like to attend the 2017 Graduation Ceremonies as part of the Academic Procession will be available after Easter. We will announce when this is open and provide instructions in the The Week@UCL.

Administrative staff wishing to enquire about availability for an auditorium seat are asked to email Giovanna Amorosi (grad_ceremonies@ucl.ac.uk). Please be advised that the new venue at Russell Square has a limited guest capacity and the seating of students' guests will take priority over any staff requests.

Student attendance

Students eligible to attend this year's graduation ceremonies have all received an email inviting them to apply for tickets via the UCL Student Information Service (Portico). Students will see a link on their Portico homepage to purchase tickets using a personalised online application form. Details of their provisional ceremony date and time are available on the first page of the application.

The new Graduation Ceremonies website contains everything students and staff need to know about how to apply, event venues, academic dress hire, graduation photography and UCL merchandise.
