Booking Your Place
What if I am not sure yet whether I will
attend?
As long as you feel that you would like the opportunity to
attend the graduation, please accept the invitation before the
deadline on 31 July 2012. If subsequently you
discover you are not able to attend, you can then inform us and we
will then reallocate your tickets. All students who have not
replied by 31 July will have their degree awarded in
absentia and will receive their degree certificate by post in
December.
I do not finish until next year. Why have I
received a Graduation Invitation?
If you feel you have received an invitation in error please
contact us on 01904 876846 to discuss your student
record.
I am unsure what my invitation status is. How
do I check?
You can you can check the status of your invitation by logging
onto e:Vision and clicking the graduation ceremony
link.
What happens if I have deferred assessments and
special arrangements have been made for me to complete my studies
by September 2012?
Provided that your deferred assessments are completed by the end
of August and your results are processed through the September
Assessment Panels and Board of Examiners, you will be able to
attend the November ceremony. If your results are finalised later,
you will either have to receive your award in absentia or wait
until next year's ceremony. However, you must still respond to your
invitation and request your guest tickets by the deadline of
31 July 2012.
What if I am a postgraduate student and submit
my dissertation after the Summer?
Please contact us, as we normally only guarantee a place for
students whose results can be ratified by the Board of Examiners at
its meeting on the 07th September 2012. Please
bear in mind that all postgraduate dissertations have to be double
marked and moderated and then are sent to the External
Examiner. Therefore many postgraduate results are not
confirmed until the December Board unless a special arrangement has
been made for a specific programme of study. If you are in any
doubt contact the Ceremonies office. Please be aware we
cannot be held liable for costs such as flights/accommodation/
gowns if you book these in advance and are unsuccessful in gaining
your final degree
If you are in any doubt please contact
Registry via DegreeCeremonies@yorksj.ac.uk or 01904

When and how do I get my final exam
results?
All award results will be made available on e:Vision
from Monday 09 July 2012. All examination
results will also be posted first class to home addresses during
the week beginning 09 July 2012. Results approved by the
September Board of Examiners will be available from Monday

What if I have any disability
requirements?
If you or your guests have any special needs which will make
access to the graduation ceremonies difficult, please indicate this
on your reply form or contact Registry via DegreeCeremonies@yorksj.ac.uk or 01904
876846.
If I have any debts to the University, will I
still be able to attend the ceremony?

debts to the University, including the Library, must be paid before
students are allowed to attend a ceremony.
