Information about future graduation ceremonies will be announced once dates, venues and eligibility arrangements are confirmed. Please do not make travel or accommodation plans until you receive official event information from LCPS.

Eligibility criteria may vary between ceremonies. Eligible learners will receive formal information from LCPS explaining the relevant completion requirements, registration process and deadlines.

Qualification completion should not be treated as confirmation of a ceremony place. Please wait for an official invitation or eligibility confirmation before making arrangements to attend.

Graduation information is normally shared using the contact details held by LCPS and through official LCPS channels. Keep your email address and other contact information up to date so important announcements can reach you.

There is no confirmed publication date unless LCPS has made an official announcement. Dates, registration windows and deadlines will be shared when arrangements for the next ceremony are ready.

Guest allowances depend on the venue, capacity and arrangements for each ceremony. Your invitation or registration information will confirm how many guests may attend and whether guest booking is required.

International learners may attend when they meet the ceremony eligibility and registration requirements. Learners remain responsible for their own travel, accommodation and immigration arrangements, and should wait for formal confirmation before booking.

Any graduate registration, guest, gown, photography or related charges will be explained in the official information for that ceremony. Costs from a previous event may not apply to a future ceremony.

Academic dress and clothing guidance will be included with the ceremony instructions. Follow the information issued for your event, including any gown collection or return arrangements.

Tell LCPS about accessibility or assistance requirements as early as possible after receiving your invitation. This gives the events team time to discuss available arrangements with you and the venue.

Contact LCPS using the instructions in your invitation. Not attending a ceremony does not remove the academic achievement you have already completed, but ceremony bookings and any associated services may have separate terms.
