Fiona Here at York we will be having six ceremonies this year, three each on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 July. We have around 300/350 graduands per ceremony and they are asked to consult seating plans on the day of the ceremony and to make a note of their seat number. Stewards then check that everyone is where they should be in the Hall and notify presenters of any absences. We are considering changing this, however, and may move to issuing graduands with seating tickets along with their guest tickets etc which they receive a couple of weeks before the ceremony. We do not make a charge for graduation. Programmes etc are free of charge. Degree Day lunch may be purchased along with champagne and strawberries, afternoon tea etc. Hope this is helpful. Linda (Salford), you would be welcome to come and observe one of our ceremonies.
