At Cambridge we don't award Diplomas or Certificates at Congregations but
send them in the post as you currently do.

Subject: Receiving diplomas etc at ceremonies

> Up to now Aston University has not invited candidates for diplomas

> 1. Which institutions invite diploma and certificate candidates to

> 2. How do you handle the terminology e.g. Congregation for the

> or graduation?
>
> 3. What do your diploma and certificate candidates wear as

> the designs differ to the candidates receiving degrees?

> 4. Any other issues we haven't thought of?
