Matriculation is the process by which new members join the College and University by subscribing to the University's Statutes an Ordinances. It is also the occasion when you are most likely to first meet your Postgraduate Tutors, the Master and some of the other Fellows and key staff of the College.
Matriculation Day: Saturday 2nd October 2021
Matriculation is your official registration to your degree at Cambridge. As with last year, the official 'signing' of the student register will once again be done online for all students. Further details on this will be emailed to you in due course.
However, as part of the College registration process, the College is required to verify the identity of all new students. You will therefore need to attend in person (unless you are in quarantine or will not arrive until after this date) please bring both the original and a colour photocopy of one of the following forms of photographic ID with you:
- Passport
- National Identity Card
- Photographic Driver's License
Dress code for the day:
We will also have the services of Jet Photographic who will be taking individual photographs of everyone (whilst following strict social distances rules) which will be available to buy as individual or group pictures. We therefore ask that you please adhere to the following dress code;
Option one: Dark suit, white shirt, collar and tie, black shoes and gown (no hoods)
Option two: Dark skirt and white blouse or suitable dark dress, black shoes and gown (no hoods)

Gowns: Gowns are only worn for certain ‘formal’ occasions – the most common of which is Formal Hall. Gowns are also worn in the University Church and the Senate House (which is where the degree ceremony will be held at the end of your course) and also in the College Chapel during services. Gowns should be worn with reasonably formal clothes. They may be bought new or second-hand from some Cambridge tailors (such as Ede and Ravenscroft which is just a few meters from Catz), or second hand from leaving students sometimes. The Graduate Union also has a Gown shop. The gown you need will depend on your age and highest degree, as below:
