Graduation gowns and caps:
Last year, NUC introduced graduation gowns and caps as part of the Graduation Ceremony for the first time. They added a special sense of occasion to the event and helped create a memorable experience for our graduates.
We are delighted to continue this tradition and encourage all graduating students to wear a gown and cap during this year's ceremony. Graduation gowns and caps can be borrowed free of charge from NUC. Graduating students attending physically in Kristiansand will receive more information by email closer to the event date about graduation attire, including how to indicate whether they would like to wear them and which size they require.
