As part of our unique graduating class of 2020, we want to reassure you that everything is on track for you to graduate this winter as planned, albeit not in the normal way. We appreciate the uncertainty of these times, but will do everything we can to ensure you are supported over the coming months and beyond.

In line with government advice, the University of Nottingham will not be holding physical graduation ceremonies this winter. Instead, you will graduate in absentia and your certificate will be posted to you. There is no option to defer your graduation this year.

Please be assured that we will be inviting you to a special graduation ceremony at a point when it is safe to host such an event on campus again. We know how important it is for you to share this celebration with your family and friends and want to give you every opportunity to enjoy the experience you and they deserve. While we are unable to welcome you onto campus this winter, the University would still like to take the opportunity to celebrate your achievements as our graduating Class of 2020.

We therefore invite you to hold Friday 11 December 2020 in your diary for a day of online celebrations. United by the hashtag #WeAreUoN, we want to bring you together virtually; with each other, with your schools and teachers, as well as with your new global community of alumni – for a graduation without borders.

If you’re expecting to graduate this winter, we need you to check some very important details in MyNottingham, including your name and address. Everyone graduating this winter should receive an email to their University email address from the Graduation Team no later than Wednesday 11 November, which details exactly what you need to do. If you have not received an email from us by this date and believe you should be graduating this winter, please get in touch.
