Graduation invitations are sent by email to students who are potentially eligible to graduate, as indicated by information on their student record.  When you receive your invitation you should register your intentions for graduation even if you do not yet know your result, and you will then need to meet the applicable eligibility criteria for the congregation, in order to actually be able to graduate.

Invitation emails and all further graduation communications are sent to your personal (home) email address as recorded in Student Info, so make sure your home email address is up-to-date before registration opens.

How do I update my email address?

If you are due to graduate at a future congregation and registration has not yet opened, you should update your personal email address in the home address section of Student Info before registration opens, to ensure you will receive graduation correspondence. 

If you can no longer access Student Info you will need to contact your faculty administrators to check and update the information for you.

If registration has already opened for your congregation you will need to contact graduation-office@bristol.ac.uk to update your contact details for graduation communications.

When will I receive my invitation email?

Invitation emails for January 2025 graduation will be sent out in mid-October.

Requirements for graduation in January 2025 and all future congregations can only be arranged when registration opens and invitation emails are sent out. 

You should only contact us about your invitation email if you do not receive it when registration opens.

Deferred students

Students who have deferred their graduation from a previous congregation should expect to receive an invitation for the winter congregation following their original scheduled ceremony, when invitations are sent out for that congregation.  See Deferring your graduation for further information.
