Bookings
If you are eligible to attend the award ceremonies in July, you will receive an email to your student email account advising you to log on to your e:Vision portal to book places for yourself and your guests to attend the award ceremony. If you have not received an email invite but feel you should, please contact graduation@staffs.ac.uk
All students must confirm their attendance in advance, via the online booking system, even if they are not bringing any guests.
Booking costs
We are happy to confirm that graduate places are free, and guests places are £20 each. Typically, all purchases are non-refundable. The exception to this is where a student becomes ineligible to attend as they have not received an award. In this instance we would give a full refund for any guest purchases.
Booking numbers
Each graduate can bring up to a maximum of 3 guests. If either you, or your guests, require the support of a professional carer or support worker in order to attend the ceremony, please advise us of this during your booking. We will be able to provide one additional seat per student or guest requiring this support and this will be free of charge. Please note that we will ask for evidence of professional carer/support worker status, before issuing confirming any complimentary bookings.
Bookings for children
We welcome children to our awards ceremonies; children will need to be included in your booking even if they are small enough not to require their own seat. This is to ensure we do not exceed the maximum fire safety capacities of our venues, which are based on the number of people who will be in the spaces, rather than the number of seats used.
Additional bookings
Once bookings are closed, we will review whether or not additional seats may be available for purchase. If we are able to offer additional seats, we will inform students via email.
