Quick guide to Graduation Day
Published on
Here’s your ‘on the go’ graduation checklist for your big day! #LivUniGrad
First stop: Sports Centre
Venue: Sports Centre; D4 on the Campus Map
Activity: Arrive for gowning in line with the time in the itinerary email we sent you. This is where you’ll also pick up your tickets, brochure, certificate and tote bag.
Gown collection opens: 7am
Gown drop-off (on The Street in the Guild): up to 8pm
Second stop: Photography
Venue: Sports Centre (first floor)
Open: 8am (Monday) and 7am (Tuesday to Friday) – closing times vary
Activity: If you have booked photography through Ede & Ravenscroft, your official photography will be in the Sports Centre. If the queue is too long, pop back later but check with the Sales Desk for closing times and before losing your place in the queue!
For your own photos, your ultimate redbrick backdrop is back for the #Classof2025! Get ready to strike a pose in front of the recently revealed Victoria Gallery and Museum. You’ll also find our UoL letters in University Square as well as deckchairs, swing seats and more dotted across campus. You'll have plenty of time post your ceremony to get all the pics you want!
Third stop: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Venue: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Opens: One hour before your ceremony is due to start – you need to be seated at least 45 minutes before it begins
It takes around 15 minutes to walk from campus up to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, so build in enough time so you don’t feel rushed. Your ceremony will last 90 minutes, and you are expected to stay for the duration, to help celebrate the special moment of all your peers.
Fourth stop: Mountford Hall, the Guild
Venue: Mountford Hall, the Guild
Activity: If you have a ticket for your School or department celebration event, head straight to the Mountford Hall
You can also celebrate in the Courtyard, The Sphinx, The Augustus John or one of our campus cafes.
Final Stop: The Street in the Guild
Venue: Guild, The Street
Activity: Drop off your gown by 8pm.
