General information
There will be free seating at the event. However, graduates will sit in the front rows. Relatives and other guests can choose a seat behind the reserved rows.
Children under the age of 14 do not need a ticket for the event. If you would like to bring a child under the age of 14 to the event, please contact us at abschlussfeier(at)uni-ulm.de. We will then send you a confirmation of admission.
Information for graduates
To be eligible to participate in the ceremony as a graduate, you must complete your studies in full between 1 January 2023 and 15 June 2024. In concrete terms, this means that all examinations and the final thesis must be written, graded and registered as passed by 15 June 2024 at the latest.
We use the data from the Registrar's Office for the selection. The data synchronisation for this takes place digitally and therefore leaves no room for interpretation or exceptions.
If you still fall into the relevant group, you will be notified by e-mail. We will send monthly emails to the relevant persons up to and including June. If you complete your studies on time, you will still be notified, possibly in June. If not, you will only be included in the group of graduates for next year, but you are of course welcome to attend this year's graduation ceremony as a guest. You can then buy a "normal price" ticket.
The graduate ticket entitles you to receive a set of hat and sash. You will receive these with your admission wristband on the festival site behind the stage.
When planning your arrival, please bear in mind that you will need to collect your hat and sash before the start of the event and line up with your fellow students to move in. Admission is from 14:30, the event starts at 16:00.
Please be backstage for the procession by 15:30 at the latest. There you can collect your hat and sash and line up for the procession. The people walking in front of and behind you during the procession will also be your seat neighbours. So if you want to sit next to friends, make sure you also line up together for the procession. You will receive all further instructions from our staff on site.
There is of course no dress code for the event. Our recommendation for the dress code at the graduation ceremony is festive attire, or just as festive as you feel.
