April Graduation ceremonies cancelled
After careful consideration, USC has decided to cancel the April graduation ceremonies. This is in line with expert advice that all non-essential, organised gatherings of 500 people or more must be cancelled from Monday 16th March to limit the spread of COVID-19.
- All graduation fees will automatically be refunded in full – this may take up to 30 days because there are a lot to process. You do not need to contact USC or Reed Graduations to arrange this.
- You will graduate in absentia. Your electronic documents will be available the week commencing Monday 13 April and hard copies of your documents will be posted after this. Please ensure your mail address is correct in USC Central.
