Eligibility criteria

You should register for graduation even if you do not yet know your result. However, you will only be able to graduate if you meet the following eligibility criteria:

• your degree or postgraduate certificate or diploma has been awarded at an exam board and is showing in eVision by Wednesday 10 July 2024 inclusive 
• you have paid any outstanding tuition fees by the deadline of Monday 17 June 2024

These eligibility criteria apply to all undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Postgraduate research students should also find out about the examination process for research degrees.

Masters intercalators  If you are intercalating an undergraduate degree with a masters degree you should not graduate with the masters before your undergraduate degree is completed, as it may affect funding.  If you have received an invitation to register for graduation with an intercalated masters degree before your undergraduate graduation is due, please contact graduation-office@bristol.ac.uk.

Check if your award has been confirmed

When your award has been confirmed at an exam board you will receive an email from the Examinations Office to tell you your results are available in eVision.

If you have not yet been awarded, your school or faculty can tell you when this is due to be considered at an exam board for UG and PG taught students, or contact pgr-exams@bristol.ac.uk for information for PG research students.

Check your tuition fees status

You can check if you have any outstanding tuition fees and make a payment by visiting your financial statement.  Please ensure that payment is made before Monday 17 June. 

If you are a sponsored student with a third party paying your fees on your behalf, you will not be able to view any outstanding balances via your financial statement and will need to contact the Credit Control team at finance-creditcontrol@bristol.ac.uk to confirm if any balance is outstanding.

Postgraduate research students

The eligibility criteria apply to all postgraduate research students.

There are additional deadlines for examiners to submit their report to the Postgraduate Exams Office, so that your degree can be considered at an appropriate Research Degrees Exam Board. 

If you have any questions about the exam board, the process of examination or required paperwork, you should visit the PGR assessments and exams webpage or contact the Postgraduate Research Exams team at pgr-exams@bristol.ac.uk.

Minor corrections

If your degree is awarded at a Research Degrees Examination Board subject to the correction of minor errors, you are still eligible to attend your graduation (provided you have no outstanding tuition fees), however you may not get your certificate at your graduation ceremony. 

Your degree certificate will only be available once you meet the requirements. Find out when you will get your degree certificate.
