Graduation photography
You are free to choose either a professional or a non-professional photographer or even a relative of yours to take pictures and record videos of your graduation day.
Only the selected photographers will access the area of the final examination to either photograph or record it.
The University is not to be considered as a party involved in the agreement between you and the photographer and is not at all responsible for it.
Photographers cannot photograph other people without their consent. Photographers’ activity must not interfere with the ongoing final examination nor drive the graduating student and the committee to distraction. Photographers who do not abide by these simple rules of conduct will be asked to leave the room.
Please note that the University is finalising ‘Photography regulations during the graduation day’. There are no agreements between accredited photographers and the University which does not have a list of photographers to provide you with.
After your graduation, you are ready to join the Alumni Association!
