Inter-ceremony graduation

Can I get my documents early?

In some circumstances, you may want to receive your documents before the next set of graduation ceremonies. This means that you can graduate early and receive your degree certificate and diploma supplement through the post.

Applying for your documents early means that you will not be able to attend a graduation ceremony in person later.

Eligibility

To get your documents early you must:

have completed your studies
had your award approved by an exam board, or examined and completed in the case of postgraduate researchers
have cleared any outstanding debts

Application timescales
