Register to attend and request guest tickets

 

Registration for the Winter 2013 graduation ceremonies.

TO REGISTER PLEASE CLICK HERE and you will be taken to the MyExeter page.  Please log in, click on the student records link and follow the on screen instructions for graduation registration. 

When registering you should indicate whether you wish to attend the graduation ceremony or whether you would prefer to graduate in absentia (if you choose to graduate in absentia you will not be able to attend a ceremony). It is important that you do not wait for confirmation of your award before completing this process.

You will be able to update your address and personal email address so that we can keep in touch with you after graduation and keep you updated with networking opportunities and events, including careers events in London and socials exclusively for recent alumni.  You can also sign up to our exclusive Exeter network, Exonline, which can provide you with opportunities to network with alumni and get great advice from experts as you start your career.

Guest tickets

As seating is limited, we guarantee each graduand 2 guest tickets.  You may request extra guest tickets during the online registration process and your request will be added to our waiting list.  Extra tickets, if available, will be allocated on a first come first served basis. 

Please note there is a charge of £10 per extra ticket (the 2 guaranteed are free of charge).  If your application for extra tickets is successful, we will notify you via email after 5th December 2012 with details of how to pay for them, only once they are paid for will they be fully secured.  Failure to pay for them by the allotted deadline (16th December 2012) may result in them being redistributed to those further down the waiting list.  Graduands will also be able to check their total guest ticket allocation via their MyExeter link after 5th December 2012. 

 

Receiving your tickets

Ticket packs for UK based students will be posted out in early January, two weeks before the ceremony, to the address provided during the registration process.  Ticket packs for non-UK mainland students will be held at the University and can be collected from the Student Information Desk (SID) in the Forum on our main Exeter Streatham campus from 7th January up to and including the day of the ceremony.  The SID opening times are Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturdays 10am to 3pm, closed on Sundays.
