Quiet graduation and special requirements
Quiet graduation
If you think you or one of your guests will find the noise or busy environment of a typical graduation event overwhelming, you may prefer to attend a quiet ceremony.
These will take place in the same week as the main ceremonies, but be done on an individual basis with just you, your guests and a University Representative.
