Graduation
General
You must register for graduation during your final year. Graduation ceremonies take place in July and November.
Registration for July ceremonies will take place in person at the Student Administration Office in the last week of April at Paisley Campus and by post at Ayr & Hamilton campuses. Please look out for posters advertising registration week.
Registration for November ceremonies will be done by post. Graduation packs will be sent out in October.
All students will be required to pay the £40 graduation registration fee before they will be allowed to register.
It is important that you register your intention to accept an award of the University and to indicate that you will either attend the ceremony to receive this in person, or graduate in absentia.

Debts to the University
If you have outstanding debts to the University at May 31st for July ceremonies and at September 30th for November ceremonies you will not be permitted to graduate. Students who are in debt to the University will be notified in writing or when they attend graduation and will be expected to clear their debts by the due date. If your debt is not cleared by the due date then conferment of your degree will be withheld.
