If you ar an invited guest
As an invited guest, you have an important role to play in creating a festive Ceremony for our honorary guests. Below please find practical information you may need for your participation.
Dress code
For all honorary guests and invited guests who will take part in the Ceremony and the banquet afterwards, formal attire is required. Formal attire applies, which means a tailcoat with a white waistcoat and white bow tie, or a full-length evening dress. Other guests at the Ceremony may wear optional smart attire.
If you have previously been conferred, you may wear your doctoral hat. Put it on at the same moment as the conferring professor and keep it on until the ceremony has concluded, and the recessional has left the cathedral. The doctoral hat is not to be worn during the banquet.
Photographs and film
The Academic Ceremony will be documented through taking photographs and by filming the event. If you are an invited guest, you will probably be included in the photo or film. The images may be published in public contexts and will be stored in MDU's image bank for three years, after which they will be deleted.
We at MDU wish to draw your attention to this and please contact us at event@mdu.se if you do not want to be included in the photos or on film.
