Visa application
Contact the Graduation Office (+44 (0) 1509 222491) if you are an overseas student and require a letter to confirm your graduation ceremony date to support a visa application. The University is unable to provide invitation letters for guests. However, UK-based graduands may wish to provide their own invitation letters for guests’ visa applications.

The deadline to book to attend graduation is Monday 18 November 2019. If you have not confirmed your attendance at the ceremony, or wish to change your booking after the 18th of November, please email the Graduation Office at graduation@lboro.ac.uk.
Additional needs
Inform the Graduation Office if you have any additional needs - for example, if you require assistance to cross the stage. The stage is accessible via stairs or ramps.
PGT Programme Boards and results
Throughout November, Programme Boards are held and results are released. If your results have not been published by Monday 25th November 2019, your award will not be conferred at a December 2019 graduation ceremony.
