If you or any of your guests have any mobility or accessibility requirements such as accessible parking, seating, or other arrangements (for example, a hearing loop), please advise us during online registration.

You will receive a confirmation email once you have registered for your ticket.  Please carefully check the details.  If anything is incorrect please contact graduation@harper-adams.ac.uk, setting out your full name, your student ID number and correct details.

Graduands are entitled to a maximum of two complimentary tickets for their guests, which must be requested when you register. Once registration has closed, no further tickets can be allocated.

Guest tickets will grant entry to your graduation ceremony, and all-day access to the Graduation Village where they can exchange a voucher for a complimentary glass of fizz.

Note: At present, we are unable to supply any additional tickets for the 2024 graduation ceremonies. 

Depending on the number of graduates attending the ceremonies, we may be able to accommodate additional guests in the ceremonies for those with exceptional circumstances.  

More information relating to additional tickets will be made available closer to the graduation date. 

No ticket is required for infants under two if seated on the lap of an accompanying adult.

Collect your tickets from the Weston Building on the day. Graduands will have to collect all tickets on the production of ID and their registration e-receipt. Your guests will not be able to collect tickets themselves and should wait for you in the Graduation Village. See the On Graduation Day page for ticket collection opening times.

Tickets are non-transferable and must be collected and used by graduands themselves.

If you have registered your intention to attend Graduation and are subsequently unable to attend, please sign into the Student Dashboard and update your graduation booking. If the registration window has already closed, please inform us via email at graduation@harper-adams.ac.uk.

Unfortunately, we do not have any accommodation available on campus for the graduation ceremonies in September.

You should be smartly dressed, and most people will tend to wear either business dress, a suit, smart dress, smart shirt with chinos, or similar. Jeans, shorts and trainers are not appropriate. You should also note that you will walk up a ramp onto the stage and then back down, so please take this into consideration when selecting shoes for the ceremony, particularly the height and stability of heels.
