etickets for Degree Ceremonies
Guest admission to degree ceremonies will be managed by an eticketing process from early 2027. This page offers guidance to graduands and guests accordingly.
Oxford introduces etickets
Due to Martyn's Law, the University is obligated to switch from the distribution of physical guest tickets to electronic guest tickets from early 2027 for degree ceremonies.
Students attending degree ceremonies from July 2027 (the beginning of a new yearly ceremony cycle) will receive a ceremony invite at the end of November 2026 and this will contain all the necessary ceremony guidance.
Graduands early 2027 ceremonies
Graduands booked onto these ceremonies will receive a separate communication from the University's Degree Conferrals Office with the necessary information and guidance regarding etickets.
Graduands from July 2027 ceremonies
Students will receive information regarding guest etickets throughout their ceremony booking process (which will start at the end of November 2026).
An overview of etickets
As the graduand, you will receive an email invitation to register for etickets for you and your guests, approximately 30 days before your ceremony. This email will include a link to register for etickets and contain a unique registration code.
You are entitled to a maximum of two Guests tickets and are responsible for sharing the etickets with your guests only, before the ceremony day. The QR codes on etickets can only be scanned and admitted once.
If you cancel your ceremony booking or change to in absentia after you have registered your etickets, they will be cancelled and no longer be valid. Ceremony etickets can be traced back you and sales of them are strictly prohibited by the University.
