Your graduation ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The perfect culmination of years of hard work and juggling studies with family and work. We know that many of our incredible students were handling all three and more throughout their education.

Therefore, we at LUBM believe that the graduation ceremony should be the big send-off that you deserve. However, many may be wondering about the etiquette and preparation that it may need. Thus, we thought it might be helpful to share some tips! And so, here is how you can prepare for a graduation ceremony.

First Things First, Information

The LUBM Graduation Ceremony 2024: Here’s everything you need to know. The Lincoln University of Business and Management Graduation Ceremony 2024 will take place on October 25th, 2024. It will be held at Atlantis, The Palm, in Palm Jumeira’s Crescent Road, in Dubai.

You can reach it by metro and switch to the Palm Jumeirah 2 tram station before getting on to the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark Monorail Station. Alternatively, you can drive to the graduation ceremony. Valet parking will be provided.

Graduands are expected to reach the location by XX: PM, as the ceremony begins at XX: PM. We’d appreciate you arriving early. This will help our organizers start the graduation ceremony on time and reduce last-minute confusion.

Dress Code

The LUBM Graduation Ceremony of 2024 is defined by two things: celebrating your hard work and success and solemnly acknowledging its gravity. As such, the dress code is formal, with academic regalia (graduation gown and cap). Please stick to the dress code. Ideally, your attire should be elegant and tasteful.

Besides, your academic regalia will be dispensed across the UAE in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Graduates can collect it from convenient locations. Alternatively, students in Sharjah can also collect it from the LUBM office.

Identification and Seating

Seating spaces for the LUBM Graduation Ceremony 2024 are allotted upon registration and ticket purchase. Your seat will be assigned to you ahead of time. Upon entering the graduation hall, please make your way to the registration counter with a valid ID, like an Emirates ID or Passport Copy. Once verified, you will receive a wristband indicating that you are a part of the event. That aside, please remain seated throughout the graduation ceremony. It’s customary to treat other’s special moments like it’s important, just like your own.

Etiquette: From Cheering to Cameras

Once you are seated at the ceremony, we can get the ball rolling. And the key to this is graduation ceremony etiquette. We ask that you follow appropriate graduation etiquette so that everyone can have an equally good time. Our staff will be on hand to guide you, but here are a few things you can bear in mind.

1. Please don’t disrupt the ceremony as others speak or collect their certificates.
2. Put your phone on mute and avoid conversations during other graduates’ big moments.
3. Stay seated for the duration of the ceremony. You probably know this, but standing on chairs or blocking others’ views during the ceremony is incredibly rude. We’d love if you could share this with your guests, too.
4. Please don’t swear. We’d love to celebrate your graduation ceremony with grace and courtesy.

We want you and every other graduate to have the bright, happy evening you deserve. We will also be sharing more simple graduation etiquette tips on our socials, so keep your eyes peeled!

Your graduation ceremony is a big deal. So be prepared to dress up and be cheered by your loved ones. The night is created to make you feel like the success that you are. So, here’s us wishing you the best graduation ceremony of your life!
