Graduation is a time of celebration of your achievements for you, family and friends; children are welcome to attend the ceremonies.
However, ceremonies are formal events lasting up to 1.5 hours, with moments of darkness, music, theatrical lighting and loud applause. It is not a recommended event for young children who, experience shows become restless during ceremonies.
If you wish to bring children as guests, they will need a ticket to enter the graduation auditorium, this includes toddlers on laps. Children’s tickets are £17.50 per child, including toddlers on laps.
Babies 12 months and under do need a ticket, please contact academicawards@dmu.ac.uk, or by phone on +44 (0)116257 7307 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).
Children cannot be left unattended and must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. The safety and well-being of children is the responsibility of accompanying adults and children cannot be cared for by 51³Ô¹Ïapp or Curve members of staff. Graduating students will not be able to bring children into the hall with them
