If you cannot attend your graduation, you may choose to graduate in absentia. This can be selected on receipt of your formal invitation. Candidates who have not responded to their invitation will not have their degree conferred and will be expected to apply to have their degree awarded in a future ceremony.
Please note, we cannot provide you with your degree parchment until your degree has been formally conferred by the University during a formal graduation ceremony.
