Graduation ceremonies are public events. The University would like to publish the names of all graduands, including those graduating ‘in absentia’, in the press. Your consent for this is gathered as part of the online registration process. The virtual ceremonies will be broadcast live for graduates, their families and friends, and will be available thereafter on the University’s YouTube channel.
You can find further details about how the University will process your information in our UWS Graduation Privacy Notice.

In the event that the graduation/celebration is cancelled for any reason the university does not accept liability for direct or indirect loss or damages incurred as a result of the cancellation of the event. This includes any loss incurred with external suppliers such as travel, accommodation, photography or robing. We would recommend that you consider the cancellation and refund policies of any suppliers before making a booking with them and you may also wish to consider having appropriate insurance in place.
