Graduation tickets

Ticket details

Graduate tickets are free. They must be booked through My Student Record.
Family and friends can share your big moment. Guest tickets cost £15 each - you can request two tickets through My Student Record.
After ticket sales close on 25 October, you'll be able to book any tickets remaining up to a maximum of four. These will be available on a staggered basis from 29 October until 1 November.
From 1 November, any last remaining tickets will go on sale on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bookings will close on 5 November. A small number of tickets, for some ceremonies, may be available on the day. See details.
Graduate bookings made after 25 October will carry a £25 late booking fee and you are unlikely to be seated with graduates of the same award.

Book your tickets on the My Certificate and Graduation tab on My Student Record. Select the ‘Book Graduation Tickets and Pay Online' option.
You'll be asked about any special requirements you and your guests have. The more detail you give, the more we can help on the day.
You'll also be asked how your name is pronounced. This is to help the name reader read out your name correctly as you cross the stage.
You will be able to download your tickets a week before your ceremony from the My e-Ticket link on My Student Record. We'll email you when they're available.

If you have an outstanding debt relating to your course, you won’t be able to book graduation tickets until it’s settled.
The easiest way is to pay online. Pay an outstanding debt via Epay.
For details of your outstanding debt, email salesledger@shu.ac.uk.

Tickets cancelled before Friday 25 October 2024 will be refunded in full.
Please email graduation@shu.ac.uk for refunds and allow up to 10 working days for refunds to be processed.
