Degree Days
Graduation is the formal end to your degree and in order to mark this important occasion, students are invited to attend a ceremony at the Sheldonian Theatre.
In order to attend a Degree Ceremony, students must book their place via the University's online portal.
St Cross hosts a celebration in College either before or after your ceremony, depending on the time of your ceremony. Students can invite up to two guests to the ceremony and College celebration, and you will be sent a link to book tickets for your guests ahead of your ceremony. For students with more than two guests, we recommend that you consider planning an additional celebration elsewhere in Oxford during that weekend, where you can accommodate everyone in your party.
Dates for Degree Days can be found above.
Certicates and Transcripts
Degree certificates are issued automatically prior to each degree ceremony and are handed out on the day (or posted on the first working day after the ceremony to those who took their degree In Absentia). Additional certificates can be ordered from the University website (please note, charges for additional certificates will apply).
For students who commenced their studies in and after Michaelmas term 2007, transcripts can be requested from the University website. For students who commenced their studies prior to 2007, transcript requests should be directed to the Academic Office.
