TICKETS | 5 Tickets How many guest tickets can I have? All graduands are able to book up to a maximum of 4 guest tickets. What if I wish to cancel my registration for graduation? If, for any reason, you no longer wish to attend your forthcoming graduation ceremony, please see below for your options. Please note that if you have not fulfilled all academic requirements, you may be ineligible to graduate. Will all my guests be able to sit together? Due to seating capacity, we can only cater for 2 of your 4 guest tickets within the Chapel; we are unable to honour requests for further Chapel seating. There is a video link-up room on campus that will live-stream all ceremonies, for which 2 of your guests will have tickets. If you wish, you can either graduate in absentia or defer your graduation until Winter Graduation in January 2020. Please email [email protected] detailing your request and including your full name and student number. If your address has changed from what you previously advised in the graduation invitation, please ensure you include your new address in your email. Please note that there is no reserved seating for guests and seats are allocated on a first come, first seated basis. Some of my family and friends cannot travel to Keele – can they still watch the ceremony? Yes, our ceremonies are transmitted live on the day at no charge. Visit keele.ac.uk/graduation/ viewliveceremonies for more information. Do I need to book a ticket for myself? No, you are automatically issued a ticket by the Graduation Office once you accept your invitation. Can I apply for additional guest tickets? We will be operating a waiting list system for additional guest tickets (2 maximum). These are not guaranteed, but if available, they will be issued on a first come, first served basis. The waiting list link will not be available until the registration deadline has passed on Friday 7 June 2019. Additional guests without tickets are welcome to join us in celebrating your day on campus. All ceremonies are live-streamed on plasma screens on the ground floor of the Students’ Union and Chancellor’s Building. Please note that there may not always be seating available in these areas. When will I receive my tickets? You will be able to collect your ticket and your guest tickets on the day of your graduation ceremony.
