I do not wish to shake hands at my graduation ceremony, what should I do?

If you do not wish to shake hands during the ceremony you can doff your cap instead. If you are not wearing academic dress then you can place your hand on or across your chest or use namaste.

You can view the full range of FAQs on Graduation on MySurrey Help.

If you have further questions related to your graduation, please email the Ceremonies Team. Current students can do this by raising an enquiry with the MySurrey Hive team via Surrey Support. Please select “My Course” as your enquiry topic.
