Gown Hire
Academic gowns are mandatory attire for all graduands. You must hire your gown from Ede and Ravenscroft using the link above. Please order your gowns well in advance of the ceremony (at least three weeks beforehand). A small number may be available to hire on the day in case of emergency, but availability cannot be guaranteed.
You will be able to collect your gown on the day of the ceremony from the academic gowning marquee. Please ensure this is returned by 4pm on the day.
Photography
There will be an opportunity for you to have official photographs taken by our graduation photographers either before or after your ceremony. You can book a time slot and pre-order your photographs via the Ede and Ravenscroft website.
You can order and pay for photographs on the day, but please be aware this may result in you having to queue.
Our Marketing Team will also be taking pictures to document the day on social media, website etc. The images may be used to advertise future events and the colleges' Higher Education courses. The event will also be live streamed by our media department.
Please note, by booking your ticket you consent to being photographed and filmed at the event.
Publications
To celebrate your achievements we will be publishing the names of all of our graduates in a special Graduation Brochure for the event.
