Graduation is one of the most exciting days of the university experience and it’s filled with celebration! With so many different things going on it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We don’t want you to miss a thing so we’ve put together a list of things to remember and outlined the timings of the day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Things to remember:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Check the date & time of your ceremony<\/h5>\n

There are a lot of ceremonies happening all week, so as it gets closer make sure to double check you have the right date and time for your course. You wouldn’t want to miss it!<\/p>\n

2. Check you have your E-tickets<\/h5>\n

You will need your E-tickets when you arrive to register. It is a good idea to have a screenshot of these saved on your phone or printed out so they are easier to access! If you still haven’t received your tickets a few days before your ceremony, please contact the graduation office.<\/p>\n

3. Bring your camera\/charger<\/h5>\n

We will have professional photographers around campus to make sure we capture the big day but it is handy to bring your own camera or phone! There will be plenty of photo opportunities to get a picture with so keep an eye out around campus. Consequently, your phone\/camera battery won’t last all day so bring a portable charger if you have one!<\/p>\n

4. Keep hydrated<\/h5>\n

With graduation being in summer and it being such a busy day, it’s important to keep hydrated! Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water with you on the day. However, there will be places to refresh and grab a drink on campus.<\/p>\n

5. Giant letters<\/h5>\n

Our Lboro Grad 2019 giant letters will be located on Shirley Pearce Square and by the Hazelrigg Fountain until 6pm! This a great photo opportunity for you and all your family so it’s not one to miss. Student Ambassadors will be around in purple t-shirts to help take some photos for you.<\/p>\n

6. Find the Lboro stickers on Instagram & Snapchat<\/h5>\n

We have some brand new stickers to decorate your graduation Instagram & Snapchat stories! All you need to do is search ‘lboro’ under GIF and you’ll be able to add them to your pictures.<\/p>\n

7. Celebrate with us<\/h5>\n

Don’t forget to tag us (@lborouniversity) in your photos and stories on social media! Also, make sure to use the hashtag #LboroGrad2019 on Instagram and Twitter.<\/p>\n

Timings of the day<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are two ceremonies per day, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. We try to put together a timetable that fits everything in whilst making sure the day doesn’t feel rushed. In order to feel relaxed and have enough time for photographs \/ see friends, we do recommend that students arrive early with plenty of time before their ceremony.<\/p>\n
