Graduation?

Postby kas48 on Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:29 pm

Looking for some information about graduation: the ceremony, expenses, how many people can attend to watch you, garden party, etc.

The bird with the thorn in its breast, it follows an immutable law. It is driven by it knows not what to impale itself, and die singing. At the very instant that the thorn enters there is no awareness in it of the dying to come; it simply sings and sings until there is not the life left to sing another note. But we, when we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We know and still we do it. Still we do it.

For the ceremony, you get two tickets to the ceremony and can request a third. I'm English and had to pay around £40 to graduate. DVD can be purchased outside for £30. Gowns are usually rented from Ede and Ravenscroft (pick them up before ceremony, return same day or have to pay for a week's hire). Book your photographer way in advance. E&R set up in the library but there are other companies set up around the town.

Garden party - two free tickets care of RBS, then about a tenner each for any subsequent ones. Free address book and pen, can buy a t-shirt with class names on it.

What's being English got to do with it? Everyone pays that, it's the General Council registration fee.

I thought Scottish students had to pay a lump sum of around £1000 to graduate as part of the endowment?

It was just over £2000 but now no longer exists, so we will probably have to pay he £40.

When the endowment was in place (and some of us poor bastards still have to pay it...) you still had to pay the General Council fee. It's a legal requirement, oddly enough.

So someone asked me "What is it you do?". I thought about it for a minute. Then I thought about it a little more. All the while I probably looked like I was staring in to space, struggling for an answer. And I was. There was only one response I could really give.

The two are unconnected. There are fees/endownments/whatever and then there is the General Council registration fee, an entirely separate thing.

Don't worry about it until a few weeks before, you get plenty of information then! I didn't even want to think about it until I had finished my last exam.

There's a DVD?! Do people buy that? Must be incredibly boring...

Garden party free tickets: as in you and a friend or you and two friends?

Prob just after Christmas, but a lot of parents and students stay in New Hall or DRA and they are usually still taking bookings up until the end of term in May.
