Eligibility

Graduation 2020: Coronavirus

Regrettably, due to the pandemic, graduation 2020 had to be postponed. 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. 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 have been posted to your registered home address (not your term-time address). Please get in touch with our Student Administration Team if you have any questions about this.
  • In recognition of their achievements and to mark the moment, we have also created a Class of 2020 commemorative book which all graduates received.

We will communicate information about the 2021 ceremony nearer the time.

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 in 2021, then unfortunately you will not be able to attend your graduation ceremony and you will have to defer your attendance to 2022.

It is your responsibility to check your results by logging into MyFalmouth once they are released.

If your results outcome is a Refer or Defer, you will not be eligible to graduate and your attendance will be deferred to 2022.

About your degree certificate

Your Name

Your name will appear exactly as it on your student record.  It is a legal requirement that the certificate is printed in your full legal name.  If you need to make any amendments to your name, please contact student.admin@falmouth.ac.uk.

You must provide Student Administration with a copy of your passport, birth certificate or driving license, to enable us to correct your name.

Your Address

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 MyFalmouth.  Incorrect address details will cause a delay in receiving your certificate.

If you need confirmation of your qualification before August 2021, 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.

Students that have an outstanding fees debt, please either contact the Finance Office +44 1326 213778 or email us.

Alternatively, a direct payment online can be made via the Payment Portal.

For tuition fees debts the details are documented in our Fees Policy 2018/19, available to download below.
