Staff who are also students need to use their student eVision account to access the graduation task. Your email and eVision accounts will remain active for you to register.

Complete the eVision task

  • Log in to eVision and check for the Graduation task (this is a tab on the home page of your eVision account).
  • Start the task.
  • Let us know whether you would like to attend your Graduation ceremony, provide your publicity preferences, and order your guest tickets.
  • Update your address details to make sure that we can contact you and send your award documentation if you choose to graduate in absentia.

Check your dundee.ac.uk email

We'll send any updates to your Dundee email address. Check this regularly to ensure that you don't miss any important information.

An email will be sent to your Dundee email account confirming completion of the eVision task. Do not delete this email as we may ask you to produce it at a later time.

Graduating early

If you are not in your final year and wish to graduate with a non-honours award, you'll need to contact your School Office who'll let the Graduation Team know you wish to graduate. If you think that you should have the link in your eVision account but cannot see this, please contact [email protected].

Guest tickets

You can apply for up to two free guest ceremony tickets during the registration task (you get a separate ticket for yourself that you do not have to apply for). These two free tickets will need to be collected in person. Children who can sit on an adult's knee do not need their own ticket.

Guests without a ticket will not be permitted access to the Caird Hall.

Additional guest tickets

Additional guest tickets will be released for sale on Monday 06 October 2025, subject to availability, they will be available for purchase direct from the Dundee City Box Office website. Graduating students will be notified via an email (providing they have registered) when the additional guest tickets are available to buy. An access code is required to purchase these tickets and this will be emailed to graduating students. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis and you can purchase up to 6 additional ceremony tickets.

Cost of additional tickets
  • Adults - £15.00 per person
  • Children (under 12) - £10.00 per person
  • Children (under 2) - Free of charge (however please note ceremonies can be up to two hours long and may not be suitable for very young children)

Please ensure that you purchase your guest tickets for the correct ceremony, so prior to purchasing please check the information on the date and time of your graduation ceremony. 

If you would like more loved ones to join you to watch you graduate, please book your tickets as early as possible as ticket availability is not guaranteed.

If you would like the chance to also book additional garden party tickets for your guests, please email [email protected] for information on availability and booking links.

If your Student visa / Tier 4 visa has expired before your Graduation ceremony and you wish to attend, you can apply for a Standard Visitor visa for short courses or Graduation. This is only obtainable from outside the UK.

University debt and Graduation

If you owe money to the University, this may have implications for Graduation. You will not be permitted to take part in Graduation celebrations if your debt is above £200 and you will not receive your certificate and other award documentation until the debt is cleared. Under Section 5 of Ordinance 39, the Senatus will be asked to withhold the grant of your award until confirmation is received that your outstanding debt to the University has been settled. Consequently, your certificate will be withheld, and you will be unable to attend Graduation until payment has been made. 

It is your responsibility to clear outstanding debt as soon as possible. The deadline for debt payment for Winter Graduation is 20 October 2025

For more information, please refer to the University debt collection policy for student fees and related charges.

Checking your balance

Your eVision account will detail within the My Balance section any outstanding payments on the Student Account and what these are for.

If you think your record is incorrect, have a legitimate reason for not paying this amount, have already paid, or wish to pay by bank transfer, please contact a member of the Sales Ledger Team using one of the following methods:
