The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that at the Congregations for General Admission to Degrees to be held on 22, 23, 24, and 25 June 2016, tickets will be required for admission to the Senate-House. Admission tickets are issued by Colleges, and prospective graduands should apply to their Colleges for admission tickets for their personal friends whom they wish to invite to the Congregations. Other members of the University who wish to be present are also asked to obtain tickets from their Colleges.

The Congregations will be divided into separate sessions, with intervals between the presentation of candidates from successive Colleges, except that candidates from Murray Edwards College and Darwin College will be presented in a single session, as will candidates from Wolfson College and Clare Hall, and Lucy Cavendish College and St Edmund’s College. Visitors may not leave the Senate-House except in the intervals between sessions.

Members of the University are required to wear academical dress in the Senate-House. Any member of the University who is not acting as an officer at the Congregations and who holds a degree of another university or degree-awarding institution may wear the academical dress appropriate to that degree; save that this provision shall not apply to those presenting for, or receiving, degrees.
