Search this thread. University of Oxford degrees are conferred at degree ceremonies, held in the Sheldonian Theatre. You may graduate in person or in absence, either straight after you've finished your degree, or many years later.
If you choose to graduate in person, you will be presented by your college, hall or society. Your college will communicate with you regarding arrival, gowning, catering arrangements and any charges you may be required to pay.
Please note that colleges will present graduands only on certain dates. Degree ceremony bookings close 30 days prior to the ceremony date but cancellation — or changing to another ceremony — is not permitted within 60 days of a booked ceremony.
If you decide to withdraw from the ceremony during this time, your degree will be conferred at the ceremony in absentia and you will not be able to attend a future date.
Your place will be offered to graduands on the waiting list for that ceremony. If you are, due to exceptional circumstances, required to withdraw from the degree ceremony within the day non-cancellation period your college may, on your behalf, seek permission from the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors via the Degree Conferral Office to exceptionally permit you to apply for a place at another ceremony.
Exceptional circumstances might include, but are not limited to: students or their guests with serious illness, or other comparable serious and unavoidable difficulties. Exceptional circumstances do not include work commitments, volunteering commitments, holidays, visa issues where visas applications have been left too late to be processed in time for the ceremony , the unavailability of guests or similar. You will be asked to provide evidence of these circumstances. In addition to the above extenuating circumstances, the following have been added as a temporary measure and may be changed in line with University and government policies:.
Where self-isolation is necessary due to taking a PCR test, students are required to provide a copy of their PCR test — regardless of the result. Students should provide a copy of the cancellation from their airline to their college when applying for this exemption.
Please note : requests on the grounds of a and b cannot be granted after the ceremony has taken place. You should only ask to rearrange your ceremony in these exceptional circumstances, as vacant places cannot be filled at short notice and rearrangement will result in gaps in ceremonies and unnecessary delays for other students waiting to book a ceremony. University and college staff are working hard to make extra ceremonies available, so that students and their friends and family can celebrate their degree day in safety, as soon as possible.
The University resumed ceremonies in September and plan to continue these, subject to Government guidelines. We are working hard to accommodate as many graduands as possible at the ceremonies — whether they are current students, or those who have already left the University.
Ceremonies are running up until November in for students in their final year, as well as those who have already had their ceremonies postponed. Additional ceremonies will also take place in There will be places at the ceremonies taking place between January and June for students who have not yet attended a ceremony; as well as at the additional ceremonies expected to take place from July You will not be able to receive your certificate until you have attended your degree ceremony in person or in absentia.
However, you will be able to receive a digital degree confirmation letter, which can be ordered for no additional charge by clicking here. All research students submitting for examination are required to submit their thesis electronically through RTDS.
The requirement to submit a hardbound copy of your DPhil thesis to the Exam Schools in order to graduate following being granted leave to supplicate has been temporarily suspended.
However, to graduate at a degree ceremony even in absentia you will still need to submit an electronic copy to the Oxford University Research Archive ORA a minimum of five working days prior to your graduation date.
Please email researchdegrees admin. Once you have received your email invitation to book your ceremony, you may wish to discuss with your friends about selecting the same graduation date if available. The University cannot arrange for groups to attend together due to space limitations and the dates your college is presenting.
If you booked through Student Self Service rather than your college , you will be able to amend your details, excluding the ceremony date, up until 60 days before your chosen ceremony 30 days for research and some modular course students. After that date you should contact your college. You may choose either to graduate in absence or to decline and contact your college for the next suitable date. If you select decline, it is unlikely that you will be able to graduate for at least a calendar year, because the degree ceremonies run on a cyclical basis and are allocated to capacity.
Taught students in their final year of studies will receive an invitation to book a ceremony. Students on taught courses, who are not in their final year, will not be able to book a place until the start of their final year. Research students will not be able to book a ceremony until they have been granted leave to supplicate.
Students are arranged into a ceremony by their faculty, and sometimes faculty ceremonies are also split by department. The timetable of December graduation ceremonies is now available to view.
There are different deadlines and eligibility requirements for Doctoral Candidates, DClinPsy and other research students. Doctoral candidates excluding DClinPsy are invited to the next available ceremony session.
To be invited you must have completed the following steps by the eligibility deadline:. Doctoral candidates who may be eligible to graduate will be reminded about these deadlines before each round of graduations, and eligible graduates will be invited in October and March.
Other research degrees are only invited to postgraduate graduation sessions; the next session is currently scheduled for December The eligibility deadline varies depending on your programme, but is no later than mid November. You may receive an invitation to attend graduation while your degree confirmation is still pending.
