graduation press and t-shirt

[tg]

What does it mean, on the graduate application form, when it asks if you want to be included in a) the press, and b) the T-shirt?

The press, i'm guessing, refers to the local rag or whatever, but whats with the T-shirt?

A company does a "Class of '07" t-shirt with the names of graduates of the year on it. Data protection probably requires the Uni to ask permission. You have to buy the t-shirt separately. There will be a stall at graduation garden party probably. Might be worthwhile as a memento, although I don't know if Jo ever received hers.

The press actually refers to a list of graduates from all of the major universities in the country which is printed in the national newspapers.

Yeah I ticked my name in both, they managed to get my name on the tea towel, but not in the national press!

Oh well at least it kept my grannies happy

But do they publish your degree classification too??

Nothing is easier than to condemn the evildoer, nothing is harder than to understand him.

I wish the uni published everyone's classification automatically. this way it might make people work harder, and would mean employers could easily check on the uni site what classification someone has - might cut down people lying on CV's

I don't know about St Andrews, but at the university where I did my undergraduate degree they would only put peoples names in the graduation lists, however, people with first class honours had a * besides their name.

I don't think they publish your degree classification here anymore. They used to - when I graduated you could look and see what degree everyone had. It's a shame they stopped it.

They don't publish degree classifications for St Andrews graduates - so if you get a first no one will know unless you brag to them! They don't include classifications in the graduation ceremony either.
