    When is your husbands graduation? Same week as mine? The 10th/11th of november? or in around those dates..

    Everyone does dress up for graduations. Students usually opt for suits or dresses, parents or spouses of the graduate usually dress the same, men usually wear smart trousers and a shirt and the women opt for a dressy suit or dress also, but being professional and smart about it at the same time.

    Usually 2weeks before the graduation ceremony, you get a letter in the post informing the graduate to log onto a website to book their robe for the ceremony, we don't get to wear hats unfortunately (well, not for my degree anyways) but they do give you a hat for the purpose of a professional photograph if you choose to get one done!

    Nothing in the post no, but I rang them to find out when mine was. I know when other streams are too. What course are you in and I might know?

    You may not realize that graduates (as well as their family) aren't obliged to attend the conferring ceremony's. I skipped my one in Galway because they were looking for 50 EUR to rent a robe for something that would normally take 30 seconds. For me and my family, it was also too much hassle and hullabaloo. The college simply posts you your parchment if you decide to skip the ceremony.
