To book a graduation robe and/or photography

Before you place your order for your robe, you MUST have booked your place at your graduation ceremony even if you are not bringing any guests.

If you do not book your place at your graduation ceremony, then you will not be permitted to attend the ceremony.

Once you have booked your place at graduation you will be sent the link to book your robe and any photography packages you may require.

Please ensure you have your height, head and chest measurements to hand and a debit/credit card available before you start your robe/photography booking.

Upon completion of your booking you will receive your confirmation and order number, please take this order number to the Stadium of Light on your graduation day to collect your robes and to have your photographs take if appropriate.

Ede and Ravenscroft are an external company. Payment for photography and hire and payment for robes are processed by their own staff and not staff at the University of Sunderland.
