This means tailcoat with a white waistcoat, a full-length evening gown, or traditional national costume. For more detailed dress guidelines, see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Graduation Ring<\/strong><br>Are you studying to become an agronomist, j\u00e4gm\u00e4stare, landscape architect, or landscape engineer and graduating this spring? Then it\u2019s time to contact the goldsmith for your graduation ring! Our goldsmith, Stefan Carlsson, is located at Vretgr\u00e4nd 6. Opening hours are Tuesday to Thursday 09:30\u201317:00 and Friday 09:30\u201316:00. Orders will be accepted until April 24. Make sure to place your order in good time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/goldfinger.nu\/\">http:\/\/goldfinger.nu\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kamratpub<\/strong><br>A \u201cKamratpub,\u201d previously called \u201cring verse pub,\u201d is when fellow union members, classmates, and\/or friends put together a verse or a PowerPoint presentation showcasing the graduate\u2019s best memories, achievements, and similar moments from student life (nothing too inappropriate). The verse\/presentation may be a maximum of 10 minutes long. This is organized by the student themselves and not by the union. The union and the traditions committee will only ensure that the union building and pub are open and that you can register for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ceremonial Verse<\/strong><br>A ceremonial verse is written by family, friends, or classmates and placed at the graduate\u2019s seat at the ball. It must be submitted via a form no later than one week after registration closes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to formal verses Bachelors:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/uZbiZTfRLCyqtqMM8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/uZbiZTfRLCyqtqMM8<\/a><br>Link to formal verses Master:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/eu7h1C91ZUsv9pip7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/eu7h1C91ZUsv9pip7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A suitable ceremonial verse is approximately 4\u20136 lines long. Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>Does the tailcoat feel festive, or perhaps a bit tight?<\/em>\n\n<em>Enjoy the moment \u2013 the evening is long!<\/em>\n\n<em>We celebrate you with joy and with song,<\/em>\n\n<em>In the spirit of tradition, as many times before.<\/em>\n\n<em>Congratulations on your graduation<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On Graduation Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Graduation Ceremony<\/strong><br>Graduation Day begins with graduates gathering at the union building beforehand for group photos. After this, everyone proceeds to the auditorium to line up for the procession. It is important to keep your assigned place in line and not move, to ensure the correct order when receiving your diploma and any rings. A keynote speaker usually participates to enhance the ceremony. About halfway through, there will be a coffee break with light refreshments. After the ceremony, we will leave the auditorium in the same procession order. Outside the auditorium, you will have a short time to meet your guests and take photos with your diploma. Three guests per graduate are guaranteed for the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ball and Dinner<\/strong><br>After the ceremony, graduates and their guests proceed to the union building for a pre-dinner drink and to find their assigned seats for the ball, which will be posted on the notice board. Snap tickets will also be available for purchase. After the pre-drink, everyone moves to Syltan for dinner, speeches, and pleasant company. The evening concludes with dancing at the union building until sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attire<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The dress code for the ball is white tie. This means tailcoat with a white waistcoat, a full-length evening gown, or traditional national costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tailcoat:<\/strong>&nbsp;Black tailcoat jacket and trousers. The tailcoat features silk facings and stripes on the trousers. The shirt, waistcoat, and bow tie must be white. There should not be a gap between the waistcoat and shirt. Preferred is also that the waistcoat doesn\u2019t show mor then 1 cm below the edge of the coat.  Black patent leather shoes or well-polished black Oxford shoes are recommended. Black knee-high socks should be worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evening gown:<\/strong>&nbsp;When choosing your gown, let the words&nbsp;<em>magnificent<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>graceful<\/em>&nbsp;guide you. The dress should be floor-length, but covering of arms, neckline, back, and shoulders is not required and may be left bare according to preference. Long gloves, a clutch bag, and a shawl are examples of permitted accessories. As there will be dancing during the evening, shoes that may become visible should cover the toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Academic orders and medals are welcome. Sashes for gowns or national costumes are worn as a rosette on the left chest, and sashes for tailcoats are worn over the shirt, under the waistcoat, diagonally from the right shoulder. It is truly recommended that you buy the Unions sash, which can be bought 12:15-13:00 at the Union. No union related pins should be worn except for the Unions symbol, which can be worn on the lapel or through the rosette.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions?<\/strong><br>Regarding the ball:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:uls_bal@stud.slu.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uls_bal@stud.slu.se<\/a><br>Regarding the ceremony:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:uls_ceremoni@stud.slu.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uls_ceremoni@stud.slu.se<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Till examenstagare 2026To graduatees 2026 Informationsm\u00f6te om Examen Examen n\u00e4rmar sig med stormsteg och trots att det \u00e4r l\u00e5ngt kvar&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2889","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2889"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6574,"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2889\/revisions\/6574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultunastudentkar.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
