Before the ceremony

  • You will need to be seated at least 45 minutes before the beginning of your ceremony. We will have staff to show you to your allocated seats once you enter the Newcastle City Hall.
  • You will be sitting with your fellow graduates, and your guests will have seating elsewhere in the hall. Ensure you give your guests their tickets before taking your seat.
  • Our staff will direct you where you have to go for your moment on stage.
  • A professional photographer will take your photo whilst you are on the stage, so don't forget to stop before leaving the stage.
