Hi All,

Congrats on your results, etc. etc. etc.

Just wondering if anyone knows when graduation is due to take place this year? Ideally for Post Graduate Students

LilRedDorcha · 23-06-2014 2:05pm

All I know is the dates for the August graduations are the 26th - 29th.

Graduation dates by course

Thanks folks, better book some time off work I guess

Postgraduate Students usually don't graduate until January the following year because your thesis has to be corrected first

Hi Clareman, current PG here. My grad is jan due to thesis being corrected. For most taught PG thats the date. Research ones could be in august, depends when they submit their thesis.

I was told by the course that graduation will be January, provisional results are in but they need to be reviewed by external people, especially the thesis. I assume that's just a rubber stamp exercise.

By any chance would someone know how many tickets a student gets for the ceremony. I think its 2 each?

I think thats right but not certain. As far as I know there may be a possibility of getting one extra but again I'm not sure. A friend of mine wanted to bring his girlfriend to his and was able to get an extra ticket for her

It is possible to get one on the day, according to UL website

Because it is not possible to exceed the seating capacity of the Concert Hall, requests for extra tickets cannot be accommodated. If extra tickets do become available, they will be made available on graduation day at the Information/Ticket Desk located in the foyer area to the left of the Main Entrance (Main Building) at 09h00 for the morning ceremony and 13h00 for the afternoon ceremony.

Theres always going to be a few spares with some students not attending. I couldnt attend my undergrad grad due to work commitments so the tickets i sent back were bought on the day i presume

There is no monetary value attached to the tickets

Just a quick one. I am finished my dissertation the end of August,and believe the auld cap and gown day will be in January 2015.

Does this mean I won't have officially graduated until then? I'm looking at the USA 1 year visa, and it asks when graduation date is..

You do not need to have your official graduation ceremony in order to apply or travel, you just need to have completed your studies.

LilRedDorcha · 31-07-2014 10:53pm

You're probably fine if you get that letter from SAA to say you're totally done.

You'll be able to access your complete transcript, which is what you'll need

Are graduates conferred individual course by course for each ceremony or is just a complete A-Z call of present graduates?
