This page will be regularly updated with news and advice about your forthcoming graduation. To graduate at the 29th June General Admission, please register as soon as possible (see “Registering for Graduation” below); also note all relevant dates in your diary, and inform those family members and friends who will be with you on the day. The Senior Tutor's Assistant Mrs Booth (mtb28@cam.ac.uk; 338847) will be happy to answer any queries you may have in connection with graduation.
REGISTERING FOR GRADUATION
First things first: you need to register for your graduation: the deadline is Friday 27th April. To do this, log on CamSIS and select “Graduation” > “Apply for Graduation”. Subsequent steps are self-explanatory. You will be asked:
- Whether you wish to receive your degree in person or in absence
- how many tickets you would like for guests (allocations may be restricted, however, to fit the maximum capacity of the Senate House: you will be informed in good time of the number of tickets available to you.)
- whether you wish to attend the graduation dinner. (This option is for undergraduates only. Graduate students taking their degree on 29th June - LLM, VetMB, BA/MMath etc - will receive a separate invitation from the Graduate Tutors).

GRADUATION CEREMONY
The graduation ceremony (“General Admission to Degrees”) will take place in the Senate House on Friday 29th June. Each College presents its students in turn: Sidney graduands are likely to be presented for their degrees at around 3.55 pm, having processed from College to the Senate House under the instruction of the College’s Praelector, Dr Jane Spencer, praelector@sid.cam.ac.uk. The University imposes a strict dress code for graduation. Please consult the Dress Regulations and Academic Dress Flowchart for more information.
GRADUATION RECEPTION
The Master and Mrs Wallace-Hadrill cordially invite you and your graduation guests to light refreshments after the ceremony – weather permitting, on the lawn of that same Master’s Garden where you were welcomed as Freshers. The Fellows and many members of the College staff, who have supported you through your time at Sidney and got to know you well, will join the party to celebrate your graduation and your time at Sidney, and to wish you well for the future.
COLLEGE BILL
University rules and College Ordinances demand that all debts to the University and to the College be settled in full before a student can graduate. The Student Finance Manager will write to you shortly with further details of your final term’s College bill.
