Congregation Grounds:
University is happy to have your loved ones around to share in our joy on your graduation. However, other Congregation Ceremonies follow immediately and the Great Hall will need to be prepared for your colleagues attending the next session.
Therefore, we ask that at the end of the ceremony, you leave the vicinity of the Hall promptly to facilitate cleaning and set up of the Hall for the next ceremony. For that same reason, loitering, littering and picnicking cannot be allowed around the Great Hall.
Return of Gowns and Collection of Certificates
All Gowns should be returned from Friday, November 18, 2016 (after the Congregation Ceremony) to Friday, December 2, 2016. Non-return of gowns by this deadline will attract a daily penalty.
To ensure security of certificates and return of academic gowns, graduands who sign up for Congregation will UPON RETURN OF GOWNS, present their student identification card, sign and collect certificates in person. The respective Colleges/Schools have designated points for collection/return of gowns and collection of certificates.
Gowns should be returned from Friday, November 18, 2016 (after the Congregation Ceremony) to Friday, December 2, 2016. Non-return of gown by this deadline will automatically accrue a weekly penalty until it is returned.
