University graduation ceremonies are held in the Autumn and Spring semesters of each year. All students should take note of the Academic Board's policy on late approval of graduands which states that 'any graduands who have their results confirmed after the appropriate Academic Board meeting should not be eligible to graduate at the immediately forthcoming ceremony'. Any graduand who is approved, through exceptional circumstances, to attend a ceremony after the Academic Board's deadline may not have his or her name included in the Graduation Program.
