There may be a small number of extra guest tickets available for seats in the Great Hall. These will be allocated on a first come, first served basis on the day of the degree ceremony from the degree ceremonies Ticket Desk in the Student Union Building. Any extra tickets that are available will only be distributed 90 minutes before the ceremony start time.
The University does provide a live feedback of each ceremony which will be available for guests who are not able to get into the hall. This will be shown in the Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre in the Michael Sadler Building. This feed is also free to view online at

How do I order my gown?
You can order your gown for the July ceremony from 1 May 2012 by going to
http://www.gownhire.co.uk. If you do not have access to a computer, please telephone the call centre on 01223 861854.
Please note: In order to hire your academic dress you must provide a ceremony access code. Leeds Trinity University College students/graduands will receive this graduation reference number in the leaflet that will be sent to you in late April/early May. You will only receive this leaflet if you have confirmed your ceremony attendance. If you have not confirmed your attendance please see the section entitled "How do I register my attendance at the July ceremony?" for further instructions.
When ordering your gown online, please ensure that you select “University of Leeds” as your institution when required and not “Leeds Trinity etc.”.

What happens on the day?
Each ceremony lasts about 1 hour and you need to arrive at the Leeds University campus at least 1½ hours before the ceremony is due to start.
When you arrive on campus you should go straight to the degree ceremonies Ticket Desk at the Student Union Building to collect your tickets and your academic dress. You can also discuss your photography and video requirements in this building. Photography is provided by Ede and Ravenscroft. You should arrive at the Great Hall (click here for a campus map), wearing your academic dress, 30 minutes before your ceremony.
The University College may ask a photographer to be present at the University in order to take publicity photographs for use in future publications. If you do not wish to be included in such photos please make this clear to the photographer on the day.
