University Centre Graduation

Registration for graduating students is now closed.

Each graduand will be able to register for two guest tickets.

When you arrive for registration at the graduation, you will be given tickets for your guests. No tickets will be sent via post. Guest entry to the ceremony is strictly by ticket only.

Please also note that, in-line with College policy, any student in debt to the College will not be eligible to attend the ceremony. If this applies to you, then please ensure that any debts are cleared before 18 October 2024, if you wish to attend.

The event is a formal occasion and it is customary that academic dress is worn. The College has engaged William Northam & Co. Ltd to supply the academic dress for the occasion as well as professional photography. Booking is now open to organise gown hire and photography - search for Bishop Burton College on their website.

Graduation is a family occasion, and babies and children are welcome at the ceremonies.
