► What to expect at the Graduation Ceremony
What to expect
From 2pm onwards you can get access to King Georges Hall. It is important that the first thing you do is register with the Graduation team. Once you have registered and received your graduate ticket you are now free to collect your robe and get your photographs taken.
Registration takes place between 2pm and 6pm. Please keep your ticket safe as it has your seat number on it, you must sit in your allocated seat as this is the order you will be presented. You will be asked to hand this ticket back prior to crossing the stage.
From 5pm there will be light refreshments available in the Main Hall of Blackburn College. You will be sent out tickets for this event with your guest tickets. Please present them to the catering staff once you have selected your refreshments.
Guests and Graduands are asked to be seated by 7pm at this time you will be addressed by the principle Mr Ian Clinton as to the rules and important information you will need to know for the Ceremony.
The Ceremony starts with the procession of the platform party to a fanfair of trumpets. There will be welcome by Mr Ian Clinton followed by the presentation of the Honorary Fellow Awards. The Honorary Fellow of 2009 is still to be confirmed.
The awards are then presented. The graduands are guided up to the stage by members of the Events team. Once on the stage you will present your name card and be called across the stage to shake the hand of the associate University Representative. Once you have shaken their hand you are now a Higher Education Graduate. Graduates are called up in course order and we ask that guests reserve applause until the last of each group of students have been presented.
Once all the graduates have been presented and are back in their seats there will be an address by the Chair of the Corporation Board. The Platform party will the process out of the Hall and the ceremony is complete.
Graduates must ensure that they return their robes before meeting up with their guests.
Graduates and Guests are welcome to take the time to socialise in Blakeys Cafe after the ceremony.
