Graduation Day Q&A

Why will the ceremony be held at Elmia?

As a result of previous years' evaluations and discussions, we have decided to move the ceremony indoors. The arguments in favour of not being outdoors as before include, among other things, that it has been difficult for relatives to see and hear what is happening on stage, that there has been no seating and that there has been no protection from the weather.

Is it okay for family and friends to come?

Yes, family and friends are warmly welcome to attend both the Xjobbsmässan and the Completion Ceremony. For the completion ceremony, a ticket is required for entry. All graduating students will be offered to collect two tickets per person free of charge. If there are tickets left after the last collection date, it may be possible to get extra tickets. More information will be available shortly.

When and where can I collect the tickets for the ceremony?

You are welcome to collect your tickets in the JTH entrance on May 16th, 19th or 20th between 10:00-13:00

Note! Tickets not collected by 20 May at 13:00 will be given to others who need extra tickets.

If you are unable to pick up your tickets in person, a classmate can collect them on your behalf. This must be communicated in advance to lisabeth.sundstrom@ju.se.

Is one of the tickets I get for the ceremony for me as a student?

No, graduates do not need a ticket for the ceremony. Your registration is your ‘ticket’. The tickets you receive are for your guests.

Do I have to pay for the scarf?

No, the scarf is a gift from JTH.

What is the dress code?

There is no official dress code for the graduation day, but most students choose a smart casual look.

I have not finished all my courses, can I still participate?

All students who are registered on their last semester can participate on the graduation day.

Will I get a diploma even if I haven't passed all courses yet?

The diploma handed out on the graduation day holds only a symbolic value, it is not your official degree certificate. Even if you have not passed all courses by the graduation day you will still get the diploma. But once you have passed all courses you need to apply for your degree certificate.
