It’s the boring task that gets put to the back of your endless ‘to do’ list in final year, but trust us, updating them now will save you a lot of hassle in the long run when making sure everything goes right for your graduation day.
We wouldn’t want you to miss out, so in case you need to know how, here’s a quick guide on updating your details:
First thing to do is log onto My Student Record using your student number (so with a ‘2’ instead of a ‘b’ or a ‘1’ instead of an ‘a’). Can’t log in? Try the Forgotten your password link, always worth a go before contacting IT.
Next – go onto ‘My Details’ and you’ll see a little table on the right hand side saying ‘Change of Personal Details’. Click onto ‘Home Address’ and then ‘Amend’. Have a look here and see if anything needs updating – if it does, update it. PS, you may not see your email address straight away, but it’ll pop up as soon as you click ‘amend’.
We need your personal email address to be as up to date as possible as you will lose access to your SHU one when you receive your results. We know you wouldn’t want to miss our lovely emails telling you about your graduation date, the deadline for booking your tickets/gown and how to make sure you have everything sorted before the big day.
Here, you can also edit your home address if you would like to. Once it gets closer to your graduation day, you can specify the address you’d like your tickets sending to, but don’t worry, tickets aren’t posted until a couple of weeks before your ceremony so you don’t need to worry about it yet & we’ll make sure to let you know how to edit this when you need to.
And that’s it! We’re done. Hopefully that didn’t take you more than a couple of minutes and now you’re as set as you can be for your graduation. Congratulations.
We’re trying to ensure that all 2018 graduates get as much information as they can before November without making you feel like this…
Don’t worry – we know you’re probably not really thinking about graduation at the moment and to be honest we don’t have too much to give away. But rest assured that as soon as we get any info you need to know about your day we’ll be posting it on the website and on here, so you can feel like this…
As an on-going improvement of our graduation services, we are refreshing the website! Hopefully, this will mean that you’ll be able to easily find everything you need to know about your graduation day, how to book your tickets/gowns and loads of other helpful information.
We’ve drawn up plans about what we think would be great to have on there, but if you have any suggestions on what information you’d find useful we’d love to hear them – just fill in the comments box at the bottom of this post.
When we get a test website up and running we’re hoping that some final year students will come and test it for us. If you’re interested in doing this, please just email the graduation office on graduation@shu.ac.uk. We won’t be doing this until March/April time – but if please don’t be afraid to offer out any interest.
For now, we wish you the best of luck in your last few months and hope to see you in November.
It’s been a quiet couple of weeks back here at the Graduation Office, we hope you had some rest over Christmas before the hard work begins again this term.
We’ve had a couple of questions about Graduation dates so to clear up any confusion…
Graduation will take place between 12-23 November 2018 , so if you would like to attend make sure you don’t book any holidays between these two weeks!
As for specific ceremony dates for your course, we don’t have these yet unfortunately. We’ll probably receive these in the summer time so make sure you keep an eye out for any emails, on My Student Record and on the Graduation website.
Good luck to anyone doing exams at the moment & we can’t wait to see you in November!
I’m Beth, I’m a Graduate Intern in the Events Team at Sheffield Hallam and I will be looking after the blog this year.
We haven’t got a lot to share with you all yet, but we are currently working on a new Graduation website to make finding information about your Graduation a lot easier. You’ll receive an email from us in the New Year about what you need to do and when.
In the meantime, have a lovely Christmas break and take some time to relax before the new term starts in January – I’m sure you’ll need it!
