PLEASE RETAIN THIS INFORMATION SHEET AS IT WILL ANSWER MANY OF YOUR COMMENCEMENTS QUERIES

GENERAL PROCEDURES AT COMMENCEMENTS

Degrees are publicly conferred, in the student’s registered name within degree class, by the Chancellor, or a Pro- Chancellor of the University in the Public Theatre (Examination Hall), Front Square, Trinity College. The ceremony is known as Commencements and is conducted in Latin. Each ceremony normally lasts for approximately one hour. 1. NOTICE REQUIRED FOR CONFERRING OF DEGREES When the results of a degree examination have been published or approved by the University Council and College Board, successful candidates who seek to have degrees conferred upon them at a particular Commencements ceremony must give notice on the prescribed form. The Student & Graduate Records Team issues application packs, known as Notice of Candidature packs, annually by email to all registered undergraduate final year students and postgraduate students. Forms must be returned to the Student & Graduate Records Team by close of business on the appropriate closing date stated below:

Summer 2014: Friday, May 9, 2014 Autumn 2014: Friday, September 19, 2014 Winter 2014: Friday, October 10, 2014 Spring 2015: Friday, February 27, 2015

Candidates are advised that closing dates are very strictly adhered to, and late applicants will not be admitted to the selected ceremony; they may, however, be admitted to the next available commencements session. Provisional application (i.e. ‘Conditional Notice’) can be made to the Student & Graduate Records Team prior to the publication of results; however, results must be published no later than 14 days prior to the start date of the Commencements session in order for the applicant to proceed with conferral. Students with results under appeal are advised not to proceed to Commencements until the appeal is concluded. 2. DEGREES IN ABSENTIA Graduands may under special circumstances be allowed to proceed to their degree(s) without presenting in person. Normally such permission is granted only to candidates resident outside the island of Ireland (32 counties), or to candidates resident in Ireland who submit in writing reasons for non-attendance with their application. The Student & Graduate Records Team will issue by registered post the parchment(s) to those graduates conferred in absentia. Alternatively, graduates who wish to collect their parchment(s) in person should contact the Student & Graduate Records Team directly (graduation@tcd.ie).

3. DEGREE OF MASTER IN ARTS (M.A.) A Bachelor of the University of Dublin of at least three years’ standing may proceed to the degree of Master in Arts (M.A.). The appropriate Notice of Candidature form, obtainable directly from the Student & Graduate Records Team, should be completed and returned with the appropriate fee. The fee is waived in the case of graduates of 50 or more years’ standing. 4. DIPLOMATES UPGRADING TO A MASTERS A student who exits with a Postgraduate Diploma but who returns at a later date to complete the credit leading to the relevant Masters Degree, will be required to rescind the Postgraduate Diploma before being conferred with the Masters Degree. Following completion of the Masters requirements, the student will be required to notify the Registrar of his/her intention to rescind the Postgraduate Diploma and have the credit obtained during the Postgraduate Diploma integrated into the Masters Degree. This notification must be submitted by form to the Student & Graduate Records Team with the completed Notice of Candidature. The student will be required to submit the original Postgraduate Diploma and/or any duplicates that have been issued. 5. PAYMENT Payment of the Commencement fee must be made at the time of application if not already completed at Registration. The fee can be paid to the Student & Graduate Records Team by credit /debit card. Payments made by credit card require the card holder to provide their credit card number; the expiry date; and the credit verification value (CVV), which is a three-digit code typically imprinted at the end of the signature panel on the reverse of the card. Payment can also be made by cheque/postal or money order/banker’s draft drawn in favour of TCD No. 1 account. Cash payments cannot be accepted. Candidates will not be permitted to proceed with conferral until all amounts due by them to the College have been paid in full (including debts in respect of Library, accommodation, and fees etc.). All payments must be made at least 14 days before the start date of the applicable Commencements. 6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF NOTICE OF CANDIDATURE The Student & Graduate Records Team will acknowledge receipt of all completed Notice of Candidature forms, normally within 14 days. If you do not receive an acknowledgement please contact the Student & Graduate Records Team immediately.

INFORMATION FOR DIPLOMATES UPGRADING TO MASTERS

A student who exits with a Postgraduate Diploma but who returns at a later date to complete the credit leading to the relevant Masters Degree, will be required to rescind the Postgraduate Diploma before being conferred with the Masters Degree. Following completion of the Masters requirements, the student will be required to notify the Registrar of his/her intention to rescind the Postgraduate Diploma and have the credit obtained during the Postgraduate Diploma integrated into the Masters Degree. This notification must be submitted by form to the Student & Graduate Records Team with the completed Notice of Candidature. The student will be required to submit the original Postgraduate Diploma and/or any duplicates that have been issued. Please note the following: The time limit for re-registering to complete the credits required for the Masters degree will normally be

up to 5 years following completion of the Postgraduate Diploma. In exceptional circumstances, a longer time may be considered by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Graduates of some Postgraduate Diplomas may require additional modules to prepare them for the research dissertation leading to a Masters. Such diplomates may undertake the specified additional modules of up to 30 ECTS credits, in addition to the research dissertation, to accrue up to an additional 60 ECTS credits. For those students, the Masters will therefore be awarded on the basis of up to 120 ECTS in total which is consistent with the credit range (90-120 ECTS credits) associated with the Masters degree in the National Framework of Qualifications.

Students who exit with a postgraduate Diploma as a consequence of failing to attain the pass

requirements of the Masters will not be permitted to re-enter to pursue the Masters at a later date.

Students who re-enter to complete the Masters will register for the year on a full-time basis if the student is availing of 60 credits or on a part-time basis if the student is availing of less than 60 credits. The usual full-time or part-time course fee will apply.

Graduates of some Postgraduate Diplomas may require additional modules to prepare them for the research

dissertation leading to a Masters. Such diplomates may undertake the specified additional modules of up to 30 ECTS credits, in addition to the research dissertation, to accrue up to an additional 60 ECTS credits. For those students, the Masters will therefore be awarded on the basis of up to 120 ECTS in total which is consistent with the credit range (90-120 ECTS credits) associated with the Masters degree in the National Framework of Qualifications.

A Postgraduate Diploma awarded by another institution will not be considered as an entry qualification for upgrading to a Masters.
