Info

What happens if I am late for my ceremony? If it is possible to seat you before your name is read out you will be able to participate as normal. If you arrive after your name has been read out then you have missed your opportunity to graduate in person and will be deemed to have received your award ‘in absentia’. You will still be able to sit with your fellow graduates and your certificate will be available directly after the ceremony ends. Can I bring children to the ceremony? Children are welcome at all ceremonies. They will need a guest ticket unless very small and able to sit on a lap. We would caution that the ceremonies are quite long and may not be suitable for young children who may become bored. What should I wear? There is no strict dress code but graduands and guests usually wear smart clothes. Please be aware that the floor of the Cathedral is an uneven stone floor and graduands will be asked to walk up a few stone steps to greet the Chancellor so graduands may wish to consider wearing suitable footwear and avoid excessively high heels. Where can my guests park? There is no parking available at the Cathedral and public car parks will have to be used. Fortunately, there are several long and short-stay car parks within easy walking distance of the Cathedral and the Guildhall and these will be marked on the map which will accompany your tickets. The Parking Office (01962) 848346 can also advise you on parking in the city. How much does graduation cost? The University of Winchester is one of the few remaining institutions which does not charge for graduation. The only compulsory cost you will incur (apart from your travel costs to and from the ceremony) is your academic dress hire which you pay directly to the gown hire company. A friend of mine has not received a graduation invitation, can I let them have the details from mine? Please do not pass the graduation information onto other people. There could be a good reason why your friend has not received an invitation – we may not at this stage be expecting him or her at the ceremonies. Please ask your friend to contact the Awards Officer immediately so that they can (if appropriate) be sent their own invitation and be included in the graduation programme. A friend of mine requires extra tickets, I am no longer able to attend the ceremony, can they have mine? Please do not pass your tickets to your friend, we need to monitor the number of tickets given to each person and we keep a record of the ticket numbers of each graduand’s allocation. Please return the tickets to the Awards Officer. Will there be commemorative items for sale? The company Graduation Gear are selling commemorative T-shirts and champagne. Items can be pre-ordered – see the advertisements later in this brochure – or purchased on the day from Graduation Gear at their stall in the Winchester Guildhall. Their stall is situated close to the Gown hire. What refreshments will be available on the day? Refreshments are available through various catering outlets in Winchester and graduands and their families and friends can choose whichever refreshments suit them i.e. formal lunches and dinners or refreshments in pubs or tearooms. Catering establishments are listed in this brochure and you may find this useful when making reservations. How can I arrange overnight accommodation for myself and my guests? Some hotels are listed in this brochure and, in addition, the Winchester Tourist Information Office has a list of hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation. Please contact them directly on 01962 840500 or via www.visitwinchester.co.uk Will I receive any further information regarding my ceremony? You will receive a letter which will confirm your attendance at your ceremony and will include guest tickets. The letter will include details of arrival time and a map showing car parks and the venues. It may be useful for you to bring this brochure and your confirmation ticket letter with you on graduation day. Graduation Information Brochure 2012
