Award recipients are seated in reserved blocks in the centre of the Empress Ballroom. You may take your seats from the time that the auditorium doors open but you must be seated by 11.40 am for ceremony one and by 2.40pm for ceremony two. It will assist stewards if you remain seated once you have taken your place. It may not be possible for you to take part in the ceremony if you arrive after it has started.
Robes
Wippell's will be located in the Horseshoe Area of the Winter Gardens. As the robing area can get busy about 45 minutes before each ceremony, we recommend that you collect your robe as soon as possible after registration. Pins are provided to secure your hood, either at the shoulders or by the loop at the front. You may find it useful to wear a buttoned shirt or top so that the loop can fit over the button. Hair grips also help to secure the mortar board.
It is requested that guests do not enter the robing area to minimise congestion in the Horseshoe Area of the Winter Gardens.
After the drinks reception in St John's Church, robes should be returned to the Winter Gardens before 5pm.
Guests
On your arrival at the Winter Gardens, your guests will be asked to wait for you in the Floral Hall.
Guests do not have numbered seats and are permitted to sit anywhere except for the recipients’ block in the centre of the Empress Ballroom and a few reserved seats for guests with disabilities/special requirements.
Please note: Due to a lack of space we would prefer prams not to be taken into the Ballroom or Balcony areas - please go to the Graduation reception desk to arrange storage of your pram during the ceremony.
What happens if I arrive late?
We ask that you arrive in good time, as we cannot delay the start of the ceremony. Those arriving after 11.15am for the morning ceremony or after 2.15pm for the afternoon ceremony will be considered late and will normally be called at the end of the ceremony, rather than with their cohorts. Alternatively, they may not be able to participate.
Refreshments
You will be able to purchase light refreshments such as tea, coffee, soft drinks and sandwiches from the Mazzei Café situated in the Floral Hall. Additionally, there will be a celebratory reception where you and a maximum of two guests will be served a free glass of sparkling wine or orange juice and a selection of canapés.
Please note: you must book your tickets for the celebratory reception on your booking form.
Gifts and mementoes

The ceremony
What happens during the ceremony?
Award recipients are seated in the Empress Ballroom alphabetically in curriculum area and course order. Guests sit separately.
A steward will ask you to stand and will direct you to the edge of the ballroom, where you will be directed to the side of the stage. You will be called across the stage in formal acknowledgement of your achievement, shake hands with the Vice Chancellor of Lancaster University and your scroll will be handed to you. As you leave the stage, stewards will guide you back to your seat. It is difficult to estimate, but we would expect the ceremony to last about an hour and a quarter. Once you are seated you are not normally permitted to leave the auditorium. Once everyone has received their scrolls, you will be asked to stand and your awards will be conferred by the Vice-Chancellor.
Once the ceremony is over, you and your two nominated guests may then attend the celebration drinks reception.
Please note: entry to the drinks reception is by ticket only.
Conduct
The ceremony is a wonderful celebration to be enjoyed by recipients and their guests. Aggressive or abusive behaviour is unacceptable and anyone behaving in this way will be asked to leave the ceremony.
