Grad Day Top Tips

Graduating this summer? We knew you could do it <3

Take a look at our tips below to make sure you're prepared for a seamless graduation!

First of all

• Arrive in plenty of time - 1.5 hours before your congregation
   
• Check the timetable below to ensure you arrive at the right time
   

Arrival - LC 

• Register and collect your academic dress in good time
   

Congregation - Swansea Arena

• You must be seated no later than 15 minutes before your congregation start time
   
• Doors to the congregation will open 45 minutes before the ceremony
   
• Ensure all personal belongings are left with guests
   
• You will only require your registration card - this will also show your seat number
   

During the congregation

• Sit in your allocated seat
   
• A marshal will instruct you when to leave your seat - you will then be directed to the stage door
   

On stage

• When your name is called, pass your registration card to the presenter
   
• Cross the stage and doff your cap to the Chancellor or Pro-Chancellor 
   
• Continue to the centre of the stage, down the steps and back to your seat

After the ceremony

• Pop over to our pop-up and pick up some Fulton Outfitters merch to remember us by - why not get it customised with Y Stiwdio?
   

And that's it! You can wear your academic dress up until 7pm, so there will be plenty of time to take lots of photos to remember the day with friends and family.
