You will receive the gown at the graduation venue when you arrive on the day only if you hired it through the website before the deadline. Student Ambassadors will be able to guide you to the correct area. Ede & Ravenscroft staff will be present to assist all graduates in gowning. If you have not hired your gown online, there is no guarantee that you will receive a gown on the day of the ceremony.

Ceremonies are smart occasions and we are sure you will want to look your best for your photographs. Please note that from the elbow down, your arm will be visible against the gown and you may therefore wish to wear a jacket. Although magnets are used, it is a good idea to wear something with a buttoned front as it will help the hood to sit better. 

Guests are requested to dress formally.

You can purchase photography at the same time as your tickets and gown on the Ede & Ravenscroft website. Photography can also be purchased on the day of the ceremony, however we recommend purchasing it ahead of time as it cannot be guaranteed on the day.

All photos will be shipped to the address provided by the student. There will also be photos taken during the ceremony as graduates walk the stage and other photo opportunities at the reception. These will be shared after the ceremony.

Individual photos can be purchased through the Ede & Ravenscroft website when you hire your gown and secure your guest tickets.

If guests arrive late, they will be held at the door by a staff member and allowed in at a point when it is least disturbing for the audience.
