Information for staff
Academic and administrative staff are welcome to attend graduation to celebrate the achievements of their students.
Staff who wish to attend
You do not need to order tickets in advance - just bring your valid staff ID and collect a ticket from the Graduation Team on the day. For the January 2025 events they will be available from the Spring Lane Building (entrance nearest to University Road).
Please arrive at Central Hall at least 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony.
How to dress
It is not compulsory for staff to wear academic dress, but those who do will be invited to join the opening procession into Central Hall. Any staff member who holds a degree can hire academic dress. You will need to order this yourself.
If you have not received any communication from Ede & Ravenscroft relating to staff gowning, please email graduation@york.ac.uk for the Graduation Team to register you.
All staff gowns can be collected from Berrick Saul Building on the day of the ceremony.
