Staff Assistance at Graduation Ceremonies
Every year, staff have the opportunity to be involved with our graduation ceremonies and most staff find this an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
A call for volunteers to act as Ceremony Marshals will be sent out eight weeks prior to the ceremonies commencing. Ceremony Marshals provide student support in Bute Hall before and during the ceremony. Full training is provided for this role.
We appreciate that staff are already busy and you can assist with as many (or as few) ceremonies as you are able, any assistance is greatly appreciated. If you would like to volunteer or have a chat about assisting at our ceremonies, please contact the Graduation Team via the General Assistance option on our Helpdesk form.
Graduation Ceremony Tickets
University Staff can request up to two tickets to attend a graduation ceremony as a guest. We cannot guarantee tickets will be available as we are restricted by the capacity of Bute Hall and priority is given to graduands.
If you wish to apply for tickets, please submit a request via the helpdesk. Make sure to contact us before the end of May for summer ceremonies and before the end of October for winter ceremonies.
Academic Robe Hire and Processions
Staff wishing to take part in the Academic Procession for a ceremony can hire academic dress using the Ede & Ravenscroft online portal. Please contact staffgowns@glasgow.ac.uk to set up an account.
The procession assembles in the Hunterian Museum, staff wishing to take part should arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony. All staff members are welcome to attend, but appropriate academic dress is required.
