The graduation ceremony will be held on July 3

A long-awaited event awaits UrFU graduates on July 3 - the diploma ceremony. 14 institutes and 6000 students will gather on the square in front of the main academic building to celebrate the graduation, bid farewell to the university and have fun. You can find out about the ceremony program in the latest issue of the Urals Federal Newspaper (No. 11 dated June 24).

"The theme of this year's graduation ceremony is The Further The More. We want to say that the university has given the students a foundation of knowledge and skills, friends, and a personality. But this is only the beginning, you can achieve more. Graduation is the beginning of adult life", explains the organizer of the celebration Alina Devyaterikova.

Stage 1. Institute

This stage aims to give students the opportunity to say goodbye to their home institute and teachers. Each institute itself determines the starting time of this stage: some start early in the morning, others a few hours before the main ceremony. The organizers regularly update the information about the start of the event in each institute in the official graduation group in VK, but the best thing to do is to find out at your institute exactly when and where this stage will take place.

At the same time, the students receive the traditional robes and academic caps. Afterwards, a transfer to the square is organized for the more distant institutes.

Stage 2. Graduation Ceremony

From 16:00 to 18:00 on the square in front of the main educational building (Mira, 19) will be the main stage of the graduation - the awarding of diplomas. One hour from 16:00 to 17:00 the organizers allocate for gathering of participants. For this purpose, a schedule of the entrance of the institutes to the square has been prepared, according to which each institute will arrive at the place of the ceremony in the time allotted for this purpose. Therefore, it is recommended not to arrive at the square alone, but to use an organized transfer.

Your gown and student ID will be your pass to the square, so the organizers remind you to bring them. To make the waiting time more pleasant, a cover band will perform for the students, there will be raffles with prizes donated by partners, a photo zone will work for the graduates, and you can relax in a special lounge area.

"A few more surprises are waiting for the guys, which we won't tell you about yet. But it will be fun," assures Alina Devyaterikova.

From 17:00, when all the graduates will go to the square, the ceremony itself will begin. The graduates wait for the grand opening and greetings from the rector and partners of the university.

When the Rector gives the command "All diplomas", the 100 best graduates of the year are invited to the stage to be awarded, and the rest receive diplomas in their field. At the end, everyone traditionally throws their caps in the air.

Only the parents of the 100 best graduates are allowed to enter the square. The rest of the guests will be able to watch the ceremony at the Kirov Monument, where a big screen will be installed. However, the organizers recommend watching the spectacle at home - for this purpose, there will be a broadcast of the graduation on social networks. It is worth arriving at the end of the event - so the guests will not get tired of standing.

After the diplomas are handed out, the boys have another hour to take memorable photos, hug each other, say goodbye, and disperse. At this time, parents and relatives of the graduates are allowed onto the field.

Stage 3. The party "Faces of UrFU: the Further the More"

The party, which will take place from 22:00 to 4:00 at the Tele-club, is waiting for the graduates. The organizers are preparing a rich line-up of artists and DJs, the full list of which has not yet been announced.

To get to the party, you need to buy a ticket on the site of Tele-club. The price varies from 1 thousand rubles for graduates to 1.5 thousand rubles for their friends who are not graduates this year. It is noteworthy that everyone can come to the party with a ticket - UrFU is ready to share the joy with all interested people.

All proceeds from ticket sales go to the University's endowment fund. This is a long-standing tradition that allows each year's graduates to contribute to the development of the university for the benefit of future generations. For example, the fund is used to purchase gowns and caps for graduates and to organize the graduation ceremony itself.

A shuttle service will be organized from the Tele-Club to the center, which will run from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will take the dancers to the university buildings. The shuttle schedule and all news about the party can be found in the official Vk group "Faces of UrFU: The Further The More".
