- enrol - all students need to enrol to graduate, even if you’re not attending the ceremony. You must register as either Attending or Non-Attending
- if you don't enrol to graduate, your award will not be conferred and we won't be able to produce a parchment for you
- enrolment for the 2024 ceremonies is open and you'll enrol to graduate using our online enrolment form

- please note that Postgraduate Diploma students are presented at the November ceremonies
- if you change your mind about either attending or not attending the ceremony please let us know right away by emailing graduation-enquiries@strath.ac.uk. We need to know how many students are graduating.
Withdrawing early from your course
If you decide not to progress to the next or final year of your course and instead want to graduate at the upcoming ceremonies you must tell your department or school as soon as possible. This way they can update their records and you can be put forward for an award. Graduation enrolment is not confirmation that you intend to withdraw early from your course.
Degree classifications
Following feedback from graduates, we've removed degree classifications (1st, 2nd upper, 2nd lower, 3rd ) from the graduation programme and the press lists. Merits and distinctions will remain. We hope this change will encourage students who might not attend their graduation ceremony to come and celebrate their achievements. The classification will still appear on the degree parchment, as will any merits and distinctions.
Academic transcript
All graduating students are eligible to receive an academic transcript free of charge for up to 6 months after graduation. Please email transcripts@strath.ac.uk with your details and a pdf of your transcript will be arranged and sent to you.
Honorary Degrees
Honorary Degrees are awarded to recognise exceptional service and contribution to academic inquiry and the advancement of learning, the University, and to society, nationally and/or internationally.
