I didn't want to graduate in my absence - what can I do?
If you did not intend to graduate in your absence, and wish to attend a Degree Congregation at a later date, you must contact us at graduation@contacts.bham.ac.uk by 23:59 (GMT) on 31 December (if you graduated in absentia in December) or by 23:59 (GMT) on 31 July (if you graduated in absentia in July), to request to defer your graduation. If you miss these deadlines for deferring your graduation then you will not be able to attend a ceremony.
Please note that, if you defer your graduation, you will not receive your documents until you attend the next round of Degree Congregations and the date of conferral on your certificate will be the date of the later Degree Congregation.
