 Graduation 747x420

December 2020 and December 2021 graduates who we were not able to accommodate at the July 2022 and December 2022 ceremonies, were invited to rescheduled cermonies in July 2023. 

 These ceremonies have now taken place and we are not  organising further ceremonies for the December 2020 and December 2021 cohorts.

Please note that if you have any outstanding fees owing to the School, you will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony unless this is cleared before the ceremony.

Please see below the answers for some frequently asked questions:

Frequently Asked Questions

I am unable to attend my graduation ceremony in the summer, can I attend a later date?

We are not planning additional rescheduled ceremonies for your cohort, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to postpone attendance to a later date.

However, you can still privately hire academic dress. Now campus has reopened to Alumni, visit the Alumni Centre to collect your red bag, pick up your Alumni Campus Card, take a photo and hear more about what it means to be an LSE alum. You can also take our self-guided LSE Alumni Explorer campus tour to refamiliarize yourself with campus and don’t forget to check out the newly opened Marshall Building. 

If you can’t make it back to campus just yet, then don’t worry - there’s still plenty of ways to make the most of your new alumni status and stay connected with over 200,000 LSE alumni worldwide. Get involved with your local alumni group, sign up to access online library resources, join our alumni book club and benefit from continued personal and professional support through our Recent Graduates programme. Find out more on the Alumni Hub or email us at alumni@lse.ac.uk
