All students who have successfully completed their course but have not yet graduated and all students anticipating an award (subject to the exceptions below) should register to graduate online.

Registration is essential even if you wish to obtain your award 'In Absentia' (i.e. the award is conferred in your absence and the certificate is posted after the ceremony to the contact address indicated at registration online). All students will be invited to register via email by the end of April. To obtain your certificate in July 2012 you must register before 13 June 2012.

Exceptions:

• Students on linked degree/honours degree courses who have completed the ordinary degree stage of their course but who will proceed to the Honours year of the course in the next session.
• Students on linked PGCert/PGDip/MSc courses should not graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate if they are still continuing with a Masters level course.

If you do graduate at any of the above exit points then proceed immediately to the next stage, your first certificate will have to be returned and the graduation fee will be charged again at the next graduation opportunity.

If, however, you do not proceed as you originally planned then you should ensure that you make arrangements to register for the next ceremony.

A Registration invite will be sent to you by email before graduation. Invites are sent to students' email addresses that have been logged with Student Records.

If you owe the University money you will not be permitted to graduate. You must clear any debts (including course fees, accommodation, parking fines and library arrears) with the Student Finance Officer or the Library before you can register.

You should register as soon as possible after you receive graduation information. Don't wait until you have received your results as this may be too late. All students will be invited to register via email by the end of April.  To obtain your certificate in July 2012 you must register  before 13 June 2012.

Changing registration details

If you have already registered and paid your fee, but need to change any of your details, please fill out the Graduation details change form.

Guest ticket allocation

Because seating is limited, we allocate two guest tickets each (if requested during registration). Based on final numbers of graduating students we will allocate more where possible. Additional tickets requested will be allocated by ballot. Students do not need to order tickets for themselves.

Ticket allocations will be available approximately 10 days before the ceremony. Students can choose to collect tickets from the InfoZone in the St Andrew Street building, or have tickets posted to a UK address.

Registration Fee

The registration fee is £40 and is due to be paid by all students receiving University awards.

Exceptions:

• In-house training course, i.e. Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods
• Where indicated during the online graduation registration procedure

Where a fee is liable, the fee should be paid during the online registration by credit/debit card. Please note that the registration process is not complete until payment of the required fee is received. If you encounter problems while making the payment when registering online, please contact Student Finance by emailing studentfinance@rgu.ac.uk

If it is not possible to pay by credit or debit card as part of your registration, cash payments may be made in person at the InfoZone in either the St Andrew Street building or at Garthdee. Do not send cash by mail.
