What happens on the day
We can't wait to welcome you to what is sure to be an exciting celebration. There are a couple of things you will need to do when you arrive. Our team will be on hand on the day to direct you, but it may be helpful to take a note of the following key locations:
Registration: St Bryce Kirk Lobby
Robing: Kirkcaldy Campus
Photography: Kirkcaldy Campus
Registration opens ninety minutes before the ceremony start time. We ask that all Graduates and guests are seated at least 20 minutes before the ceremony starts, so please make sure you allow yourself enough time to register, collect your robe and find your seat. You can choose to have any professional photographs you have booked taken before or after your ceremony.

Parking is available at nearby Postings Car Park (KY1 1ED), Thistle Car Park (KY1 1NH) and Kirkcaldy Train Station (KY1 1NL). We would recommend allowing yourself enough time to find a space and make your way to the venue.
Please do not try to enter the College car park without prior agreement as you will not be permitted entry.
The ceremony will last for 45 minutes to one hour. After the ceremony, you will be invited over to the Atrium of the Kirkcaldy Campus to enjoy a drinks' reception with your fellow Graduates.
Each Graduate is offered spaces for up to two guests during registration. This it to allow enough space for all our Graduates and their guests within the Kirk.
Once graduand registration closes, we may open up additional guest spaces. If this is the case, all those registered to attend graduation will receive an email with booking link.
Yes. We asked during registration for any accessibility requirements for you or your guests so have a note of those provided. If there are any additional requirements or you wanted to inform us of something new, please let us know by emailing Graduation@fife.ac.uk

All Graduates will be handed a scroll tube as they cross the stage to commemorate their Graduation.
All Graduates will then be able to collect their commemorative certificate in the Atrium after their ceremony.
We will have a photographer capturing moments throughout the day, which we may then share online or use publicly. If you do not want your image used in this way, please make this clear to us during registration so we can provide you with a lanyard to identify you to our photographer so they can ensure you are eliminated from all photos.
Due to space within the upstairs area of the Kirk, buggies and pushchairs need to be left at the entrance downstairs, with babies/children then carried or walked up the stairs (a lift is also available). We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.
Babies/children can be returned to their buggy/pushchair after the ceremony and the Atrium (reception area) is large enough for them to remain in these for the remainder of your celebration.
