General Admission to Degrees: Notice

22 May 1998

The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that at the Congregations for General Admission to Degrees to be held on 26 June and 27 June 1998 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.

It would be helpful if members of the Senate who wish to be present at any of the Congregations would notify the Secretary of the Senate-House Syndicate at The Old Schools.

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

All members of the University are required to wear the academical dress of their degrees in the Senate-House. The days of General Admission are Scarlet Days, and Doctors in the different Faculties are asked to wear their festal gowns. Visitors may wish to know that the University Combination Room will be open throughout the two days of General Admission for the service of light refreshments.
