Graduation

The invitations to Graduation 2012 have all been posted. If you will be eligible to graduate this year and have not received your invitation by Wednesday 4 April 2012 please contact us at the following address graduation@chi.ac.uk and we will arrange for a second invitation pack to be sent to you. In your message please include your name, student number, subject and the postal address of where you would like your pack sent.

Tickets

The number of tickets that you will be able to purchase will be determined by the size of the ceremony and course you have taken. This information will be made available to you with your registration form. The maximum you will be allocated is three guest tickets per student.

Guest tickets are priced at £13.00 each. Graduands’ tickets are free and will be given to you as part of the registration process on the day of your graduation.

Tickets for children under 5 are free, but due to health and safety restrictions at the venue they must have a seat and will be included as one of your guests.

For any other enquiries regarding tickets, please contact the Graduation Team on 01243 812155 or email graduation@chi.ac.uk

Please make sure that Student Records hold your most current address and email details to avoid missing out on ordering your tickets.

If you are late you may not be admitted into the Theatre. Failure to register or lateness will result in your name not being called at the ceremony and your certificate will be posted to you by Academic Registry.

You and your guests will be given a Programme as you enter the Theatre. Further copies of the programme will be available at the Graduation Information Point in the foyer of the main Theatre.
