Celebrate graduation with your family

You may need to organise a visa for your guests

Your graduation ceremony isn't just a chance for you to celebrate it's an opportunity for your family to toast your achievements too.

If you have family living outside the United Kingdom who'd like to attend your graduation ceremony, they'll need to get a visa. To book tickets for yourself and up to two guests, you will need to access My Graduation from your Student View. 

You can request a visa support letter for yourself and your guests as part of the booking process.

In many cases, visas are issued without any problems but visas are sometimes refused. If that happens, unfortunately we can't intervene. The decision is solely made by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

We will, however, always offer a full refund for any purchased graduation tickets for guests who receive a visa refusal, once we've seen all the necessary documents.
