We're looking to update our website and to do this we would love your feedback on our current website and what you would like to see from a new offering. Please fill in this short questionnaire here before 5pm on Friday 7 August.
Degrees are conferred by the University at a ceremony in the Senate House known as a Congregation. People due to take a degree (graduands) are presented for their degrees to the Vice-Chancellor (or deputy) by an officer of the College known as the Praelector.
The Praelector for Churchill College is Dr John Fawcett. Administrative assistance to the Praelector is provided by Stephanie Cook in the Tutorial Office.
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, all bookings for Cambridge congregations are temporarily suspended . Anyone currently booked in for a graduation ceremony will be contacted by email shortly. Please bear with us with respect to responding to queries at this time.
Transcripts for degrees awarded based on assessments modified as a result of COVID-19 will include brief wording explaining that the candidate undertook alternative assessments, and provide a link to a fuller explanation of the nature of the assessment, hosted on the CamData website.
Paper copies of certificates and transcripts for everyone who has graduated in absence during the lockdown period will be produced and posted as soon as staff are able to return to the workplace. Further copies may be ordered once this service is available again. A service that allows you to access your official transcript electronically remains in place and has been enhanced to include an image of your graduation certificate. This subscription service to Digitary allows you to share documents on-line with other organisations such as employers or other educational institutions. Further information is available here https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/your-course/graduation-and-what-next/degree-certificates-and-transcripts/academic-transcripts
For any enquiries please contact Stephanie Cook, Tutorial Officer.
The congregation dress code is a strict code. If graduands do not wear the prescribed dress they will be excluded from the Ceremony.
