ATTENDANCE 

Each graduand is allowed to bring a maximum of four guests to the evening Ceremony. The cost of attending graduation is €45.00 per graduand which includes gown hire and guest attendance. This is a family occasion, and children are welcome, however, we would request the importance of adult supervision throughout the conferring of awards ceremony. 

NON-ATTENDANCE 

In the event that you are unable to attend, your award will be conferred in absentia. The award cannot be collected after the ceremony, nor may it be presented to relatives or friends in your absence. In absentia graduands will receive their parchment via registered post in the weeks following the ceremony. We will send an email to your personal email address in early November requesting confirmation of the address you would like us to send it to.
