ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION FOR MASTER’S GRADUATION CEREMONY
Graduates registered for the ceremony have received emails with organizational information and a link to the online store where the birettas can be purchased. Purchases via the e-shop is possible until December 11 and have the option of personal pickup at the SGH Bookstore, which must be done no later than on the day of the ceremony.
Birettas are available for sale at stationary all the time, and on the day of the ceremony the SGH Bookstore will be open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
The gowns in which graduates perform during the ceremony will be available two hours before the event.
On the day of the event, access to the main building from Niepodległości Avenue will be difficult, so please enter through Building A (from Rakowiecka Street) and use the cloakroom located there.
From Building A, please go through the connector and proceed to the Club Room in the main building (level -1). There you should:
- confirm your attendance on the list (reception desk)
- receive information on the assigned seat number in the Main Auditorium (NOTE: You will have a dedicated seat at the Auditorium. Please take your seat and do not change seats on your own, as this will disrupt the flow of alumni receiving congratulation letters from the Rector)
- pick up a gown.
You enter the auditorium dressed in gowns and birettas. Please take your seats a quarter of an hour before the official start.
We do not limit the number of guests accompanying the graduates. Guests will be directed to the balcony of the Main Auditorium, where we will provide about 300 seats (the lower part will be reserved for graduates only!).
For your convenience, simultaneous translation into English will be provided during the event. Before entering the Main Auditorium you will get headphones for yourself and your English-speaking guests. Please, return the headphones immediately after the official part of the ceremony.
