Graduation Ceremony

Where do I collect my student ticket?

Register on campus at Greater Manchester Business School.

Your student ticket will be printed with your name and the name of your award at Registration.  You must always have this ticket with you whilst in the Albert Halls.  You will be asked to hand your ticket to the Usher prior to accessing the stage, where the Presenter will announce your name and Award.

  • If you are attending ceremonies 1, 4, 7, 10 and 13 you must register at Greater Manchester Business School and collect a student ticket at 8.00 a.m.
  • If you are attending ceremonies 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14 you must register at Greater Manchester Business School and collect a student ticket at 11:15 a.m.
  • If you are attending ceremonies 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 you must register at Greater Manchester Business School and collect a student ticket at 2.00 p.m.

Please allow two hours to register, collect your robes, have photographs taken (you can also do this afterward), make your way to the Albert Halls, and be seated at least 15 minutes before the start of the graduation ceremony. The walk from the Greater Manchester Business School to the Albert Halls takes approximately 5 minutes.  

There is a strict closed-door policy in place at Albert Halls.  Therefore, all graduands and guests must arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of your ceremony. If you do not arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony, then you will be classed as a latecomer and may not be able to participate in your graduation ceremony.  It is not possible to issue refunds to latecomers, however, you will be permitted to watch the ceremony in the live-streaming lounge.
