Streatham ceremonies
If you are visiting a Streatham ceremony you may wish to visit the AccessAble website for detailed information on what to expect in the Great Hall and in other university buildings including the Forum.
Seating arrangements and parking
If you or any of your guests have any accessibility requirements such as special seating arrangements at the ceremony or a disabled parking space, please provide details when completing the online registration task outlined in your invitation email. It is important to register your accessibility requirements as part of registration if possible so that the graduation team has time before the ceremonies to contact you and confirm the organisation of your request directly with you.
If you did not request a disabled parking space as part of your registration or have a change in circumstances and require other accessibility adjustments, please log an enquiry via SID Online using the category “Accessibility Request” by the deadline stated on the dates and deadlines page. If we do not receive your additional request by this date, then we cannot guarantee that we will be able to process your request before the start of the ceremonies.
Step-Free Access
For graduands, there is step-free access to the Great Hall through Main Reception, located opposite Car Park C and next to the Northcott Theatre.
For guests, there are lifts available to access the Great Hall, which are most easily accessed from the Forum. Please follow the signs or ask a member of staff if you are unsure on the day.
Access to the stage
The graduation stage is fully accessible and does not include steps or stairs. Instead, ramps will allow graduands to access the stage. Please provide details of any additional needs when completing the online registration task in your invitation email. Any additional needs crossing the stage can be accommodated by the graduation team and our marshals on the day. More information about this can be found in our ‘what to expect videos’ where you will be able to clearly see the stage you are crossing.
Quiet spaces on campus
The Exehale space (Devonshire House) and Neil Cross room (first floor of the Forum Library) are both situated on our Streatham Campus and are available as quiet, reflective and calm spaces on the day. Other quiet spaces on campus can be found using the maps below:

Dogs
Please be advised that dogs (except for trained assistance dogs) are not permitted in University Buildings. We therefore strongly recommend that dogs are not brought to campus during graduation.
