Graduating?

Congratulations on your graduation. To help you make the most of your graduation, we've put together some top tips to help you get the most out of your day, as well as information about live streaming of the event, GCU hoodies, Life Memberships and student discounts.

After a successful campaign from the Students' Association there are no graduation fees at Glasgow Caledonian University.

You can find out more about your graduation directly from GCU, remind yourself of the ceremony schedule and the link for the live stream.

Our Top Tips for Graduation:

Plan your day in advance: Plan your day in advance so you don't miss out on anything. Have you registered to graduate? Have you ordered your gown? Do you want professional photos? Visit the GCU Graduation webpages.

Graduation updates: Keep up-to-date with Graduations at GCU on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Be on time: Know where your graduation is taking place and think ahead about how you are getting there (and where you are going to park)—we've seen too many students miss their ceremonies and have their day ruined!  Read the correspondence you get from the University and make sure you arrive when you're meant to. In fact, scrap that: BE EARLY.

Book your celebratory dinner/lunch now: The most popular restaurants in the city will become fully-booked fast—get your dinner booked now so you're not searching around for somewhere on the day. 

Take lots of photos: It might sound obvious, but you'll want to look back on your graduation day in years to come. Our tip is to put 30 mins aside before you start celebrating to get lots of snaps around campus.

Wear comfy clothing: It's important to look smart on the day, but remember that you also need to be comfortable. Don't spend the entire time having to breath in or pull your trousers up because they're too baggy.

New shoes: They might look nice and shiny, but if you've not broken them in you could be in for a world of pain...

Bring pins: Safety pins can help keep your gown in place.
