Booking is currently closed.
When you have received your invitation email from the graduations team, confirming the date and time of your graduation ceremony, and that booking is open, you can log in to OSIS to book your own place and up to two guest tickets.
When ordering your tickets via OSIS, you'll be asked for your:
You must provide details of any access requirements for you and/or your guests, when you are booking. If we don't know your requirements in advance, we cannot guarantee that we'll be able to accommodate them on the day.
Please note: By booking tickets to a graduation ceremony, you agree to adhere to the University's graduation ceremony policies terms and conditions.
You should receive two email confirmations, when you book your tickets:
- payment confirmation;
- booking confirmation with further information about your graduation ceremony.
If you don't receive a confirmation email, it might be that the booking process wasn't completed. Please log back into OSIS to check your booking.
If you are at all unsure and have any queries, please tell us immediately by completing our online query form.
Guest tickets cost £27 each. You can buy up to two guest tickets initially.
You can bring children, but the ceremony can last for up to an hour and a quarter, so it's not advisable to bring very young children.
Children must also be accompanied at all times and never left unattended.
Seating
Children cannot sit with graduates; they must sit with guests. We ask that they're taken out of the auditorium if they disrupt the ceremony.
Tickets
Children older than three years will need a ticket (priced £27) as they need to have their own seat.
Children younger than three years (i.e. a child aged two years and 11 months) can have a free ticket. The free ticket will be available from the ticket collection desk on the day of the ceremony.
Buggies and pushchairs
There is no space in the Rose Theatre auditorium for buggies and pushchairs, so we ask that they are left at home or in the Theatre's foyer during the ceremony (on the day, please ask a member of staff where they can be left).
Applications are currently closed for the Graduation Support Fund.
Information on how and when you can apply will be sent with your ceremony invitation email.
If you find yourself in financial difficulty, you may wish to consider applying to the Student Support Fund (via MyKingston). For details about this fund, and other financial support available, please visit the Money pages on MyKingston for more information.
We can only offer a refund if you do not achieve your award in time for your ceremony.
Guest tickets are non-refundable, so please do not purchase any guest tickets you may not require, as we cannot offer a refund in any other circumstances.
The University cannot be held liable for any costs incurred for travel or accommodation arrangements made by graduates or guests under any circumstances.
If you have already ordered your gown but can no longer attend the ceremony, read our gowns page to find out about getting a refund from our gowning supplier.
