CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

Regrettably, due to the pandemic, graduation had to be postponed this year. We have consulted with students about how they would like to celebrate their graduation and the clear preference was for a physical ceremony. We are therefore holding an event for the 2020 cohort at the same time as the 2021 group in July next year. In recognition of their achievements and to mark the moment, we have also created a Class of 2020 commemorative book that will be posted to them this month.
 
Please ignore all original deadlines set for Graduation in July 2020 as they no longer apply.
 

Key information

  • If you have already ordered your gown, please do not cancel them until we know if we can transfer the booking across to a new date.
  • If you haven't ordered your gown yet, the booking system is now not taking bookings until we know when we can proceed.
  • Degree certificates will be posted to your registered home address (not your term-time address) in August. To make sure you recieve your certificate, please get in touch with our Student Administration Team to make sure we have your correct address.
We will communicate any changes to the current status via your student email account.
 

Coronavirus advice & guidance

You will be eligible to attend your graduation if you successfully complete your studies. If you have not been formally recorded as an Award by the completion of assessment boards held in May 2020, then unfortunately you will not be able to attend your graduation ceremony and you will have to defer your attendance to 2021.

Your results will be released on Tuesday 26 May, it is your responsibility to check your results by logging into My Falmouth.

If your results outcome is a Refer or Defer, you will not be eligible to graduate and your attendance will be deferred to 2021.

Student Administration will post your Degree Certificate to you by the beginning of August 2020.

Your degree certificate will be posted to the home address (i.e not term time address) on your student record. If you need to update your address, please log in to My Falmouth.  Incorrect address details will cause a delay in receiving your certificate.

If you need confirmation of your qualification before August, please contact student.admin@falmouth.ac.uk

Outstanding debts

Any student who has a financial obligation to the University will not be allowed to attend the graduation ceremony nor receive their certificate, so you should rectify this at least one month before the ceremony.

The University will withhold transcripts/certificates and prohibit attendance at the awards ceremony for any student who has an outstanding financial commitment.
