Dear All
The Board of Examiners, which was attended by our External Examiners and programme convenors, met yesterday to consider those students who have completed their programme of study. This email only concerns those students who have submitted a final dissertation and have completed their programme. Please read this email carefully.
Later in the week we will write to the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences asking him to ratify the results of the Board and then this signed authority will be sent to the Congregations Office for formal processing. Successful candidates will be contacted directly by the Congregations Office at their address found within the Student Data System to determine whether they wish to attend the award ceremony or not and to confirm the address to which their formal certificate should be sent. Please make sure that you have updated this address.
Transcripts
Once the formal authority of the Dean is signed and lodged with the Congregations Office, a digital transcript will be made available to you through the online Graduation Documents system at this address; http://www.kent.ac.uk/registry/student-records/digiweb/userguide/index.htm Please note that this process can take a couple of weeks. We will also ask Student Records to produce one hall-marked transcript and have it delivered to the office here in Brussels. We will hold it here for you until you have an address to which you want it to be sent. When you do, please email ukboffice@kent.ac.uk. If you ever require additional transcripts you should contact the Student Records Office at student_records@kent.ac.uk or through their website at http://www.kent.ac.uk/registry/student-records/. At the congregation ceremony you will receive your degree certificate. Those unable to attend will receive their certificate in the post at the address held in the Student Data System but only after the congregation has taken place. You will be able to see the mark for your dissertation on your transcript, however, if you wish to see the examiners’ comments you should send an email to ukboffice@kent.ac.uk.
Graduation
The next Graduation ceremony will be on Friday 22 November 2013 in Canterbury Cathedral in the evening. Details regarding Graduation, gown hire, timings, tickets etc can be found by going to the website at http://www.kent.ac.uk/congregations/ and all related enquires should be addressed to congregations@kent.ac.uk. Students attending the ceremony are allowed a maximum of 2 guest tickets. This is because the design of the cathedral only allows that number of people to have a guaranteed good and unimpeded view of the event. Additional tickets may be purchased through the Congregations Office but the seating will not be with the other two guests. Details can be found on the Congregations website. You may also wish to consult the page on our Intranet at: https://www.kent.ac.uk/brussels/local/procedures/academic-administration/graduation.html.

Best wishes and congratulations.
