Postponement of July 2020 graduation ceremonies

Frequently asked questions for students who expected to attend the postponed July 2020 ceremonies.

• When will I become a Kingston University graduate?

• All students who successfully complete their course immediately become graduates of the University, even though our ceremonies have had to be postponed.

  The University will keep in touch as more information becomes available. To help us do this, we are urging all our graduating students to ensure we have their up-to-date contact contact details on OSIS.

   

• When will I receive my certificate?

• Students who have successfully completed their degrees and would have been due to attend graduation ceremonies in July 2020 can access Digital Award Certificates on Gradintel.
  They can also access the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) via Gradintel too. These are official documents that can be shared with employers, other universities and anyone else who may need to see them, in the same way as physical copies.

  It is not possible for the University to provide paper copies of award certificates for the foreseeable future due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will provide updates on the availability of paper certificates when we have further details.

  Read updates and more information and find out how to contact the certificates team directly depending on your query.

  We are urging all our final year students to ensure we have their up-to-date contact details on OSIS so we can keep in touch when we have more information.

• When will graduation ceremonies take place?

• Unfortunately, we are not able to confirm ceremony dates at the moment as we do not yet know how the ongoing public health emergency will evolve or when government restrictions will lift fully.

  We will be in touch with all students who have just completed their degrees and diplomas as soon as we can provide an update about our revised ceremony dates.
