Access Requirements

Please let us know if you or any of your guests are wheelchair users or have any other access requirements. There are limited seats available for wheelchair users so they must be booked in advance. If your guest requires a specific seat for any other purpose and you do not let us know, you should bear in mind that they will be allocated a seat number that cannot be changed.

The 2012 Graduation ceremonies will be taking place in the Grand Theatre, Swansea.

If you wish to attend the Awards Congregation, you are required to wear full academic dress appropriate to the Award to which you are to be admitted. You are responsible for ordering this yourself.

Due to the large number of students expected to graduate, initially a maximum of two guest tickets will be allocated per student. Students are able to request one additional ticket when registering for graduation.  Once the number of students graduating has been confirmed a decision will be made on whether there are any further tickets available to allocate. This decision will not be made until two weeks before the Graduation ceremonies so please do not telephone Academic Registry querying the availability of additional guest tickets. If there is an additional ticket available it will be sent with the other tickets at the beginning of July.
