Guests

Each graduand may invite up to two guests to attend their respective school ceremony. Guest registration must be completed during the graduand's attendance registration.

Key Information:

• Each email will contain a personalised, non-transferable QR code designated for the intended recipient.
• Entry to the venue is strictly by wrist tag only. Guests must present a valid QR code at registration for the issuance of a wrist tag; those without one will be denied entry.

Note to Graduands:

• Please ensure that the confirmation emails containing the QR codes are forwarded to your guests, or otherwise made available to them via screenshot or printout, and that they have them ready for presentation on the day of the event.

• Graduands may apply for up to two more admission passes during registration.
• Double-degree graduands attending both ceremonies may apply for up to two more additional passes per ceremony.
