Graduation Ceremony

Where do I need to go on the day?

Providing you have booked your tickets by 2 July 2024 you will be asked to register at Greater Manchester Business School.

  • 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.
