Graduation and degree information

Your personal data, including your full name and course information, and if you're a PhD student also your thesis title, will be published in the degree programme, which is given to all graduands, unless you ask us to omit your details from the programme when you register.

We also share information relating to the graduation ceremony with third parties involved in the ceremonies, including photographers and videographers.

Graduation ceremonies are streamed live on the internet and are also made available online afterwards.

Footage may be used by the University for media publications and advertising. All graduands and guests should be aware that they may feature in footage of the degree ceremony.

By registering to take part in your graduation ceremony and by requesting guest tickets, you are giving permission for your image to be recorded.

We will share information relating to the graduation ceremony with the venue, De Montfort Hall, and their third party ticketing provider, Ticketsolve, who will implement the guest seating for your graduation ceremony. De Montfort Hall and Ticketsolve are acting as data processors on the University’s behalf and we are doing this to fulfil our contractual relationship with you.

We will share your name, student ID number, degree award, guest requirements (where applicable) and email address to enable De Montfort Hall and Ticketsolve to allocate and distribute tickets to your guests attending the ceremony.

By registering to take part in your graduation ceremony and by requesting guest tickets (including any access requirements that we need to know about to help people enjoy the experience safely, for example), you are giving permission for the above information to be shared with the third parties outlined above.

In all cases, the information you provide will not be used for any other purpose and will be deleted by De Montfort Hall and Ticketsolve one month after the completion of graduation ceremonies.

For more information on how your personal data will be used, please see Ticketsolve’s privacy policy and De Montfort Hall’s privacy policy.
