York College Graduation Ceremony 2012
Every year we seek to celebrate the success of our higher education (HE) students at a graduation ceremony held in central York. This year the ceremony is to be held at York Minster on Thursday 5th July at 2pm.
In 2011 we were pleased to be joined by Greg Dyke at a ceremony held at the Royal York Hotel and we are sure this year’s event will be every bit as memorable an occasion for our HE students and their families.
By now eligible students should have received their graduation packs with details of how to book their places but we hope the FAQs below will answer any questions you might still have. If you still need to speak to us, call the marketing team’s events officer on 01904 770232/770229.
Do I have to book a place beforehand?
Yes. Absolutely! Places are limited and various regulations mean we have to strictly control the number of attendees and know exactly who is coming on the day. Also, the ceremony is highly choreographed, this year students are asked to arrive at the Hospitium in the Museum Gardens before moving to York Minster in the form of a procession; all of this has to be arranged in detail prior to the day and if we’re not expecting you we can’t arrange for you to be a part of the ceremony.
What if I book then find I can’t come?
Don’t worry, just let us know you’ll not be coming and we’ll alter the running order, we’d much rather know in advance if you have to cancel.
Do I have to attend?
No. The graduation ceremony is not compulsory and not attending won’t affect your qualification. You don’t have to let us know you’re not coming either, if you don’t want to come just don’t return your form and we’ll not expect you.
How much does graduation cost?
While we don’t charge for the ceremony itself, there is a charge for gown hire. Please visit gownhire specialists Ede and Ravenscroft's website for prices and to order.
Proceeds from the gown hire do not go to the College.
Do I have to wear a gown?
Yes. The ceremony is a formal occasion and you are required to wear the academic dress of the College.
How many guests can I bring?
Each graduand may bring three guests. After June 4th we will know our final numbers and if at that point we have extra seating we will allocate seats on a first come, first served basis. Please call 01904 770232 after June 4th with seating enquiries.
