Once you enter the institution name ‘Northeastern University London’, you will need to enter your student ID (note: this is different from the number in your student email), your surname and student email.

Your gown will need to be ordered online through the Ede & Ravenscroft website. You will receive the gown at the graduation venue when you arrive on the day. Student Ambassadors will be able to guide you to the correct area. Ede & Ravenscroft staff will be present to assist all graduates in gowning.

There will be a drop off point for gowns in the Barbican’s Garden Room. Please follow the signs or ask a Student Ambassador for the gown return.

Yes, graduating students and Faculty are required to wear a gown.

Ceremonies are smart occasions and we are sure you will want to look your best for your photographs. Please note that from the elbow down, your arm will be visible against the gown and you may therefore wish to wear a jacket. Although Velcro is used, it is a good idea to wear something with a buttoned front as it will help the hood to sit better.
Guests are requested to dress formally.

You can purchase photography at the same time as your tickets and gown on the Ede & Ravenscroft website. Photography can also be purchased on the day of the ceremony, however we recommend purchasing it ahead of time as it cannot be guaranteed on the day.

All photos will be shipped to the address provided by the student. There will also be photos taken during the ceremony as graduates walk the stage and other photo opportunities at The Barbican’s Garden Room and Conservatory. These will be shared after the ceremony.

Individual photos can be purchased through the Ede & Ravenscroft website when you hire your gown and secure your guest tickets.

Yes, all guests and graduates will receive a graduation booklet once they arrive, which will list the names and degrees of all graduating students, a schedule for the day and details on the alumni network.

We highly recommend that everyone gives themselves plenty of time to arrive before 10:30, giving yourselves extra time to account for any travel delays etc. If you do arrive late, if you arrive before 12:15 we will try our best to gown you and have you join the ceremony.

If guests arrive late, they will be held at the door by a staff member and allowed in at a point when it is least disturbing for the audience.
