If my graduation ceremony is running late, will I miss the reception?

If your graduation ceremony is running late, you will not miss the reception. The reception will begin after the ceremony has finished. Members of staff in the reception venue will be watching the live stream of the ceremony so they will know when the ceremony has finished and when to expect graduates and their guests to start arriving. There is no need to leave the ceremony early to go to the reception.
 
If you have any questions related to your graduation, please email the Ceremonies Team. Current students can use Surrey Support by clicking the “Ask us a question” button below.
