Your Graduation and Beyond

Graduation will always be a special moment. In general, Graduations take place late July or early August. Invitations to those expected to attend will be sent in May.

Graduation Dates

We are currently planning for physical ceremonies to go ahead on 5th August 2023. We intend to start contacting students about these ceremonies from mid-February onwards.

Streaming links

The graduation ceremony will be streamed live via youtube. The links for the stream will be provided here closer to the graduation date.

Getting ready to graduate

What you will need to as part of graduating would be outlined in the steps below.

STEP ONE - CONFIRM YOUR CONTACT DETAILS

Please update your contact and home email address in the RISIS web portal at the earliest.. You will receive Expression of Interest (EOI) and then a formal invitation for the Graduation Ceremony at those email addresses.

Please email the Graduation office at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have not received emails from us by the end of Feb 2023. You should be aware that sometimes emails from us can automatically be filed as junk by your email provider. To ensure you do not miss any communications you should add This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to your safe senders list.

STEP TWO - EXPRESSION OF INTEREST PROCESS (EOI)

Students of Reading Malaysia are allowed to attend the Graduation either in Malaysia or the UK Campus.

You should receive an EOI email invitation to express your interest in attending Graduation Ceremony in the UK by mid February 2023 with a deadline by which you should respond.

For those who do not opt to attend the graduation ceremony in the UK, you will receive a second EOI email invitation to express your interest in attending Graduation Ceremony in Malaysia by mid April 2023, with a deadline to respond. Your response to both these EOI will help us create the UK and Malaysia ceremony schedule.

This expression of interest process is used for ceremony planning purposes only. Your invitation to a specific graduation ceremony will be sent at a later date and will contain a link to the formal graduation registration process, which you will be required to complete. The Expression of Interest process and the Formal Graduation Registration process are two separate activities, both of which will need to be completed to ensure your attendance at your graduation ceremony.

Please note, if you express your interest by the deadline you will be given priority when completing formal registration and applying for guest tickets.

STEP THREE - FORMAL REGISTRATION AND BOOKING GUEST TICKETS

This step only refers Malaysian Ceremony. For UK ceremony, please refer to the UK Graduation Site.

Registration
You will be emailed a formal invitation which you need to respond in order to register for graduation.

You will need to make payment and pass the receipts to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before the given deadline.

Graduation tickets
Graduands will be able to get tickets for themselves and two guests. You can apply for additional guest tickets when you fill in the “expressions of interest” on the portal and we will try hard to allocate you tickets. Priority will be given to those who successfully complete the expression of interest process prior to formal graduation registration as well as the complete payment of outstanding dues.

Unfortunately, due to the space limitations of our graduation hall, we may not be able to accommodate everyone at the same time. Additional tickets can be bought from the graduation office in July 2023 via email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The graduation package includes Robes and photography. Package details will be provided when we send the official invitation.

ELIGIBITY TO GRADUATE

In order to be eligible for graduation you need to check two things:

Your results.
You don't have tuition fee debt. For more information regarding debt please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Please note that any outstanding fees should be cleared before you complete your response to the first EOI (by mid-March 2023); any delay in paying the outstanding fees may result in non-printing of the Degree Certificate for the Graduation 2023, thus you will neither allow to attend the ceremony nor graduating in 2023.

You will not be able to graduate and will be automatically deferred to a future graduation ceremony if:

you have not passed and need to resit.
you have not passed, but have qualified for an exit award, which you have not yet accepted.
you have an open academic misconduct case in the lead up to Graduation.
you have an outstanding tuition free or debt.
for any other reason the Exams Office do not have a final result for you by the beginning of July 2022.
