Graduation is one of the high points in the academic year. It is the opportunity for our students, alongside their families and College staff to celebrate their achievement.
This year’s Graduation Ceremonies will take place on Friday 20 October at Wellsprings Leisure Centre in Taunton.
Registering your Attendance
We require all those graduating to register as soon as possible, you will have received an email with your link to register. This is vital to ensure the information on certificates and programmes is correct and that we allocate enough space for your guests.
Once you have completed the online registration form you will need to book your official academic gown (required) and official photographs (optional) via the Ede & Ravenscroft website.
Registering on the Day
We will be holding two ceremonies this year, 10.30am and 2.30pm. You are not able to choose which graduation ceremony you attend , you will need to attend the ceremony allocated to your course, please see the tables below.
We ask you to arrive in plenty of time before your ceremony in order for you to register, obtain your graduation gown and have your official photographs taken (if required).
Please note, depending on the number of graduates wishing to graduate, we may need to combine the ceremonies into one! If this is the case we will contact you, keep a close eye on your emails. Please check back on this website on a regular basis.
