A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO YOUR GRADUATION CEREMONY | 13
When it is your turn to go to the front of the Chapel to be
conferred, the Ushers will ask you to stand and they will
direct you to a corridor on the left-hand side of your seat.
You will then be asked to move forward when your name
is read out and the Chancellor/Vice-Chancellor/Deputy
Vice-Chancellor will shake your hand. You will then walk
along the aisle of the Chapel and return to your seat.
Once all graduands have been conferred, the ceremony
is declared closed. You will be asked to stand while the
Chancellor/Vice-Chancellor/Deputy Vice-Chancellor,
academics and dignitaries process out of the Chapel.
You are then free to leave.
A group photograph will be taken on the steps of the
Chapel, just outside the marquee, with the Chancellor/
Vice-Chancellor/Deputy Vice-Chancellor, academics
and dignitaries, and all your peers immediately after
the ceremony. These are available to purchase
on the day from the Students’ Union.
