Here are some common questions and answers about the ceremony.

About (attendance) registration

I missed the deadline for registration, can I still join?
No, sorry. As the Graduation Ceremony is just a few days away, it's no longer possible to register/join.

Is my UM card enough identification to get my diploma?
No, we need to see a valid ID, for example an EU identity card, drivers license or passport. Please bring your UM card as well, if you still have it. Sorry, we have to be quite strict about this.

If there is an emergency, who do I contact?
If you have a problem on the day of your ceremony, for example if you are in a traffic jam and can't be on time for registration, you can contact us via +31 (0)43-38 84335. Non-urgent messages: email to fpn-gradceremony@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
