Subject / Summer Graduation Ceremonies 2016

This year the Summer Graduation Ceremonies will take place in the Sir William Whitla Hall from Thursday 30 June to Wednesday 6 July (excluding Sunday). There will be a total of 12 ceremonies with a garden party following each morning and afternoon ceremony.

You are invited to be present at both the ceremony and garden party for your School. Members of staff are encouraged to take part in the academic procession and it is hoped that there will be strong representation from each School. There is no fee for the hire of academic costume for those taking part in an academic procession. Hire of academic costume should be arranged by completing the last page of the attached form. If your academic dress is not from Queen’s, the hire cost will be covered but you must submit your request no later than Monday 23 May 2016.

To ensure maximum utilization of the Hall and to give students the opportunity to celebrate with as many of their family and friends as possible, extra ceremony tickets for staff will be extremely limited and allocated after student requests have been fulfilled. If any are available, they will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis by contacting Oonagh Bell, Student Registry Services, email: and not through the Eventus office. Those taking part in the academic procession do NOT require a ticket for a seat in the Hall or a garden party ticket.

Please complete and return the enclosed reply form to Melissa Kent at Eventus, Queen’s University Belfast, by Monday 23 May 2016. Please ensure that the deadline date is adhered to as late submissions make planning the event very difficult. Your co-operation in making the arrangements is very much appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you at the Summer Graduation Ceremonies 2016.
