February’s graduation postponed

The University of Bolton has been monitoring closely the developments in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

As a result of this disruption and following the Government’s further lockdown measures, the University has decided to postpone again the 2020 graduation ceremony that was scheduled for February 2021 for safety reasons.

As you know, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is already causing significant financial disturbance. We believe it is vitally important, for safety purposes and to protect every student from any potential financial loss associated with flight and accommodation cancellation costs (or any other associated costs or losses) which might be incurred if the graduation ceremonies were to be postponed much closer to the February date.

This is the reason we have decided to reschedule the ceremonies to the summer of 2021.

This action means that the university is prioritising everyone’s health and wellbeing in order to enjoy the graduation ceremonies with our students and their families at a later date.

We will write to our students with our new plans and further information soon, along with the official invitation. Once you receive your official invitation, you will need to confirm your attendance. 

Please ensure that you keep us informed of your contact details. Should these change, contact us at: graduation@bolton.ac.uk quoting your student number.

Thank you for your continued understanding and patience.
