We can offer several adjustments in the main ceremonies. Please notify us in advance of any requirements you may have, so we can prepare for these in advance of your ceremony.

You may find the below information helpful:

• There are no stairs in or out of the ceremony hall for guests or students. Students will walk up a small ramp to get onto the stage.
• There will be a short queue to the stage with the rest of your cohort. The expected wait time to go onto the stage is 4-5 minutes.
• Please contact us if you feel you need special seating arrangements on the day. For example, you may feel more comfortable being seated on an end row for extra leg room.
• We have convenient accessible parking for blue badge holders.

Yes, the graduation ceremony is fully accessible. The stage has a ramp on either sides and we can reserve end row seats for any graduating students or their guests who are wheelchair users and will be attending. Please get in touch with us through the Student Enquiry Centre and we'll organise this for you.

On the day, individuals with reserved seating will need to speak to a seating steward (identified by their blue gown) as they enter the hall, and they will be guided to their reserved seats.

Not to worry, we have disabled parking available near the graduation venue. As you park, there will be security members guiding people to parking spaces. Let them know, and they will guide you to the most appropriate space on the day.
