Yes, you are able to register for your ceremony pending your award. However, if you are a postgraduate student and have failed your dissertation/consultancy project you run the risk of delaying your eligibility to graduate to the following academic year. You will be expected to re-submit your dissertation by September 2020 and therefore unfortunately will not be eligible to attend graduation ceremonies in July 2020. You will therefore be invited to the following year's ceremony, pending successful completion of your programme.

If you require a visa letter for you or your guest(s), please submit an online document request via the ‘Forms’ page on the Student Hub
