1 hour before your ceremony

Other ceremony elements

In many ceremonies, additional elements may be included such as:

• Honorary Degrees - 果酱视频官网 has been awarding Honorary Degrees since it was founded in 1964. They are awarded to people with a recognised international standing in their field, and to those who have given special service in connection with the University or its regions.
• Alumni Awards - Every year, 果酱视频官网 presents these awards to outstanding alumni. The recipients will have made a substantial contribution to their field since graduation at Lancaster; have developed an outstanding international or national reputation; be inspiring to graduating students and guests.
• Chancellor's College of Benefactors seeks to recognise organisations and individuals whose contributions have been truly transformational.
• The Chancellor's Medal - presented each year to the most meritorious students in each faculty.

The ceremony will close with the National Anthem played by the University organist and London Fanfare Trumpets. Some graduands, guests and members of staff may choose to remove their hats for the National Anthem; it is entirely the individual's choice whether or not to do this.

Guest guidance

Please do:

• Applaud graduands as they cross the stage.
• Take photographs from your seat.
• Use the restroom before the ceremony

Please don't:

• Stand during the ceremony as this may block other guests' view of their graduand.
• Record the ceremony - we stream ceremonies live and high-quality footage of each ceremony is available to purchase.
• Arrive late - late arrivals will not be permitted as this may disrupt the ceremony. Doors open one hour before the ceremony, and you should take your seat at least 30 minutes before the ceremony starts.

We ask that all guests are respectful of graduands and other guests during the ceremony. With this in mind, please keep talking to an absolute minimum so that all guests can enjoy the graduation experience. If you are watching with a child and they become restless, please consider taking them out of the Great Hall.

Ceremony Supervisors will be on hand should you need any assistance during the ceremony.
