Graduation ceremony

The graduation ceremony usually takes place in the Academiegebouw, Broerstraat 5. After proper registration (see registration procedure) the student will receive a schedule with time and place of the ceremony.

At the graduation ceremony the graduate receives a graduation certificate together with a diploma supplement stating the grades on the separate course units.

Usually the graduation date (= the date on the graduation certificate) coincides with the date of the graduation ceremony. In some cases (usually around September 1) the graduation ceremony may be postponed to some later date. This may be the case when the last examination results are obtained in the last weeks of August and the administrative procedures for graduation cannot be timely fulfilled before August 31 (i.e. before the end of the academic year). When the examination results do so permit, the graduation date can be set at August 31, whereas the graduation ceremony takes place in October.
