Yes, the graduation ceremony is fully accessible. The stage has a ramp on either sides and we can reserve end row seats for any graduating students or their guests who are wheelchair users and will be attending. Please get in touch with us through the Student Enquiry Centre and we'll organise this for you.

On the day, individuals with reserved seating will need to speak to a seating steward (identified by their blue gown) as they enter the hall, and they will be guided to their reserved seats.

Not to worry, we have disabled parking available near the graduation venue. As you park, there will be security members guiding people to parking spaces. Let them know, and they will guide you to the most appropriate space on the day.

We can arrange front-row seating for any students or guests with vision or hearing impairments. If you require one, we can also book a British Sign Language interpreter for the ceremony. Please let us know, and we will make the necessary arrangements.

We are able to offer a number of adjustments in the main ceremonies. Please notify us in advance of any requirements so that we can factor these in when allocating seating. Our current adjustments include:

• Making the venue wheelchair accessible, including ramped access to the stage
• Allowing assistance dogs to be seated with you during the ceremony
• Flexibility with seating, we can seat you closer to the stage for those experiencing mobility challenges or anxiety
• For those hard of hearing, we can arrange BSL interpreters upon request. Please let us know when you register so we can make the necessary arrangements.
• Convenient, accessible parking for blue badge holders

Alternatively, we now offer a quiet ceremony option if you would prefer to attend a smaller, quieter ceremony.

If there any other adjustments you would like to discuss, please contact us.

This is no problem at all. Instead of shaking hands, simply place your hand diagonally across your chest as you cross the stage.

We offer carer tickets, which you can request when registering or by contacting the graduation team. These must be requested no later than two weeks before your ceremony.

Please get in touch with us and we'll see what we can do to accommodate them.

There are accessible toilets available both outside David Ross Sports Village and inside, right next to the ceremony hall.

Please ask one of the stewards wearing a blue gown and they will be able to show you where these are.
