Graduation: Frequently Asked Questions

Find out the latest information and advice for students who were due to graduate in 2020 or who are due to graduate this summer. We will keep these FAQs updated with any new information as it becomes available.

Will there be an in-person event for graduates who were due to graduate in July 2020, December 2020 and July 2021?

Yes. We will be inviting all graduates from these cohorts back to campus for an in-person ceremony, giving you the chance to celebrate your success in the traditional cap and gown alongside your fellow new alumni. Unless changes to Government guidance prevent us from doing so, the first of these events will commence in autumn 2021, with the full schedule running through the 2021-22 academic year. We will be in touch with graduates by email soon, with further information including details of how to register.

I am graduating in July 2021. How will I receive documentation of my degree award?

Students who complete their degree requirements will be graduated ‘in absentia’ on Friday 23 July. You will be able to access and share digital versions of your award documentation from early August, using the Graduate Document Portal. Your award certificate will be sent to you via post shortly after this time. Look out for separate emails which provide more information on how to register for the Graduate Document Portal, and how you can request enhanced postal services.

I graduated in July 2020 or December 2020. How do I send you my up-to-date contact details so I can receive information about my re-scheduled ceremony?

The easiest way to update your details is by registering for an alumni account. Registering for an account will also enable you to access a range of benefits including access to online journals and leisure discounts. You can register or log-in via the Alumni webpages. Alternatively, you can contact the team to update your details by email at alumni@liverpool.ac.uk or by phone +44 (0)151 795 4639.
