Invitation Cards
Electronic invitation cards will be sent to all graduates via the University e-mail. Kindly present your QU ID card or Qatari ID card in order to enter the ceremony.
Invitation Cards and Guests Attendance:
The guest invitation cards will be sent to the graduate's university e-mail and includes a QR Code, which will be scanned to grant entry to the ceremony hall. The graduate is therefore requested to share this invitation and access code with the number of guests specified in the guest e-invitation card. During the ceremony, precautionary measures will be followed in line with the state.
Accordingly, the guest invitation card will be sent to the graduate's university e-mail and each card will have a QR Code, which will be scanned upon entry to the ceremony hall.

Photography
Male Graduation Ceremony & College Ceremonies
The Communications and Public Relations Department at Qatar University will provide photography services to the graduates when they ascend the podium. For College Ceremonies, taking pictures for female graduates is subject to their request and consent. The respective department will hand over the photos to the deans’ offices in due course after the ceremony. Graduates are kindly requested to refer to their colleges (Dean’s office) to inquire where to receive their graduation photos after the graduation ceremony.
Male ceremony pictures will be posted on social media (Twitter).
Distinguished Female and Male Graduation Ceremonies
Receiving the photos for the Distinguished Women Graduates or Distinguished Men Graduates is not possible as photographing is exclusively carried out by the photographers of the Amiri Diwan. The media section at the Amiri Diwan will select a limited number of photos and send them for publication in the newspapers.

The recording and live streaming of the Graduation Ceremony can be viewed via QU platforms by opening the link at the top of the page. Video recordings of these ceremonies will be available at QU platforms immediately after the ceremonies as the video recordings can be viewed by opening the link at the top of the page.
Publishing the video recordings of the graduation ceremonies aims to document the ceremonies, and provide an opportunity for graduates’ families and loved ones, and the graduates themselves, to watch the ceremonies, knowing that female graduates will be streamed from a distance to preserve privacy.
