The Ceremony

If you are taking your degree in person, please arrive in Cambridge in good time.
Make sure you observe the dress and gown code as explained in the guidelines, otherwise you may not be allowed to proceed.
Please do try to adhere to the rules, as the Senate House is extremely strict on these matters.
You will need to hire a gown and hood, and you can find information on where to hire these, and what to wear under them, from the University website.

The Graham Storey Room will be open for you to robe up in.

If you have requested tickets for the Senate House, they will be available to collect from the Porter’s Lodge on the morning of the ceremony.

The Proctors’ and Marshal’s Office have issued the following information for guests attending the ceremony -

"For security, safety and practical space restriction purposes, rucksacks, holdalls, shopping bags or bags larger than 35cm x 25cm may not be taken into the Senate House or the surrounding grounds. If you bring them, you may be asked to make alternative arrangements for their storage.  If you need to keep your bag with you, you must seek assistance from a Proctor/Constable who my check contents prior to entry to the Senate House. Please allow sufficient time for the additional delays this may cause. If you have specific security queries please direct these to proctors&marshalsoffice@admin.cam.ac.uk"
