Statements

Graduation ceremonies planned for Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 July are scheduled to go ahead as planned. We look forward to welcoming you to your ceremony.

With an amber warning for heat in Norwich, and many parts of the country under a red warning, we are making additional provisions to allow graduation ceremonies to continue.

This includes:

• Plenty of free water will be made available throughout the day. Water may also be taken into the ceremony hall
• Extra shade and seating in the Festival Area
• Sunscreen stations for those in the queue and in the Festival Area

The graduation ceremony hall is air conditioned and we have medical professionals on site throughout. Our graduation staff are also available to help.

We ask all attendees to allow extra time for travel to campus and to come prepared with hats, sunscreen and water.

Please take note of NHS heat advice, particularly if you are attending with elderly guests, young children or anyone with pre-existing health conditions. The guidance includes:

• Trying to stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm and avoiding strenuous activity during those times
• Staying in the shade where possible and wearing a hat
• Drinking plenty of water
• Wearing light, loose clothing, where possible

Please be advised that this is subject to change at short notice if national Government or NHS guidance is updated. 

Congratulations and we look forward to celebrating with you.
