14.00 - 17.00h. CET

MECC, Maastricht

Because I have my original diploma already in my possession, I will be handed a symbolic folder during the ceremony while my graduation photo is made.
 

As you want to come and collect my diploma personally at the Education Desk in the Law Faculty, please wait for confirmation from law-diploma@maastrichtuniversity.nl. They will inform you when your diploma is ready to collect during working days between 10 am. and 2 pm. Note that you will need to present a proof of identity. 

Please send the original diploma folder (free of charge) to the following address:

For the compulsory verification beforehand, you need to upload a secured scanned copy of your ID below. More information can be found at https://www.government.nl/topics/identity-fraud

We will send your diploma to the given address via registered mail and you will receive an email about the postal shipment.

Extra guest - important information 

We hope you can bring three of your loved ones to witness the presentation of your diploma. Please keep in mind that, unfortunately, we cannot allow any additional guests. Unfortunately, it is also not possible to bring additional guests on behalf of a graduate who does not bring guests. Please do not send requests for exceptions. 

If seats become available for a fourth guest, you can indicate below that you would like to be notified. Only after the deadline, in the week of Nov. 9, we can see how many people have registered and if there are any seats available. In that case, we will inform you if your fourth guest can join. 

 

Note that your fourth guest is NOT confirmed and that it will probably not be possible, so do not book travel/accommodation for this person yet. 

Caps and Gowns
In recent years, graduates have worn a cap and gown at graduation ceremonies. However, for sustainability reasons, we do not recommend purchasing these items of clothing just to wear them for a few hours. We appreciate it if you dress festively for this occasion, but of course, you are free to decide for yourself what to wear. If you do choose to purchase a cap and/or gown, you can use the link you will receive in the confirmation after you click submit. Prices and payment you find via the link. The deadline for order is November 8.

Deadline
In order to prepare the diploma's, we work with a deadline. Unfortunately, we cannot accept requests/changes after the deadline of November 8. 

QR Code & Identification
Upon entry, we ask you to show your personal QR code and a valid identity card (passport, identity card or residence permit). This is to ensure that the diploma will be handed out to the rightful owner. 

Attend ceremony on another date
It is not possible to attend a ceremony on another date. The established dates you can find via
this link are leading. 

Photos 
Because we like to cherish good memories, the Faculty of Law will make photos which can be used on the UM website, alumni screen, social media etc. By participating in the graduation ceremony, you agree to this. 
We do not offer livestream for this event.
