Graduation ceremonies will now take place twice a year, in July and January. 

• Summer Graduation (25th–31st July 2025) – For students whose awards are confirmed by 30th June 2025. 

• Winter Graduation (January 2026, dates TBC) – For students with summer resits in July or on courses that do not meet the summer deadline. 

Specific ceremony dates and times will be finalised in May 2025. You will receive further details once they are confirmed. 

No, there are no changes to ticketing. All eligible students will be allocated a seat free of charge. 

Guest tickets will be released for sale in July, in the lead-up to the ceremonies. 

If you are currently eligible for Summer Graduation but later find that you need to re-sit an assessment, you will be invited to attend Winter Graduation in January instead. 

Students on non-standard courses that do not meet the 30th June deadline will be invited to attend Winter Graduation instead.

No, this change does not impact when you receive your award, only when you attend your graduation ceremony. 

• Students who pass in Semester 2 and receive their award by 30th June will attend Summer Graduation in July. 

• Students who resit in July will receive their award in August and be invited to attend Winter Graduation in January. 

Finalist students on courses due to finish in time for the June boards have now been invited to register for Summer Graduation. Look out for an email from noreply@wlv.ac.uk and visit the graduation page of eVision to register. 

All updates will be sent via email from noreply@wlv.ac.uk, so please check your inbox regularly. Updates will also be published on the relevant webpages, so please visit www.wlv.ac.uk/graduation for further details. 

Don't worry—graduation ceremonies are large events, with thousands of students from across all courses split between Summer and Winter ceremonies. Whichever period you attend, you are likely to be celebrating alongside fellow students from your course.  

All awards confirmed after 30th June 2025 and before 5th December 2025 are expected to be invited to Winter Graduation in January 2026.  

Any awards confirmed after 5th December 2025 through to Semester Two June boards 2026 will be eligible for the next Summer Graduation ceremonies in 2026.
