Unofficial graduation

    Hi all,

    I was a UCC student for 6 years and graduated 3 times without ever going to one due to several reasons.

    I know it has always saddened my mum that she never had the experience of seeing me graduate or being in the gown so I am hoping that when I am home for Christmas I can surprise her, just a few photos and a lunch afterwards, so I am looking for some advice please.
    Can gowns be rented anytime during the year? Must one be a current student?
    Can anyone run through the ceremony/day quickly so I can make it as "authentic" as possible.
    Much appreciated.

    I'd have thought you'd look silly in a gown if it wasn't a ceremony.
    Maybe you could attend graduation for a different class/year if you asked?

    I dont really care looking silly to be honest :)

    It will be the christmas/new year period I am sure there wont be many around.

    I had thought about the latter option, but not sure if I could get home for them.
