Graduation terms and conditions

Graduation terms and conditions

It is the responsibility of the student to read through and understand the Terms and Conditions below. Your registration for your Graduation ceremony constitutes your acceptance of these terms.

Academic Dress

In keeping with the academic nature of the occasion and ceremonial tradition, all students attending the ceremony must wear the appropriate academic outfit.

Cancellation of Student Attendance

If after registering to attend, a student is unable to attend the ceremony, the student should inform the Graduation team as soon as possible by emailing info@abs.edu.gh

Children

Unfortunately, children are not allowed to attend the graduation ceremony.

Contact with Students

The Graduation team contacts students using the contact information in their student emails. It is the student’s responsibility to keep these details up to date. 

Date and Time

The dates and time of the ceremonies are as published. You will be invited to register for the ceremony that is  relevant for your degree or diploma.

Debt

Students with debts to the University will not be eligible to graduate. Please arrange to pay all outstanding debts to the University before the end of your studies to ensure you are eligible to attend.

Defferals

On request, students can ask to defer their Graduation to a future ceremony. These requests must be made in writing by emailing info@abs.edu.gh. Students can only defer their attendance to a ceremony where their degree or diploma type is being conferred.

Eligibility

Your place at Graduation is subject to your degree or diploma being approved by your Department’s exam board and confirmed by Academic Board. 

If your degree or diploma is not confirmed by the date of your Graduation ceremony, your registration will be cancelled and any guest tickets you may have received will not be valid, and should be returned to the Graduation team. 

Force Majeure

If a Graduation Ceremony cannot take place, is delayed, or the ceremony time needs to change arising from acts, events, omissions or non-events beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, riots, war, acts of terrorism, epidemic or pandemic, fire, flood, storm, earthquake or industrial action, Accra Business School  will not be liable for any losses, direct or otherwise, incurred by graduands or their guests.

Guest Tickets

Students who register by the registration deadline will be guaranteed one or more guest tickets. Students can request up to five additional tickets at a cost when registering and will be added to a waiting list. 

Guest tickets are not transferable.

Late Arrivals

All guests should arrive an hour prior to the ceremony and be seated no later than 30mins to the ceremony. Guests arriving after this time may not be admitted, and their seats may be re-allocated.
