REGISTRATION
You have received an invitation at your personal email address and at your @kedgebs email address with the link to the registration site.
You MUST register online before midnight on the 1st SEPTEMBER midnight. After that date, we will no longer be able to confirm your participation and guarantee you access to the ceremony.
You must give the full names and email addresses of guests when you register.
The invitation is valid for two guests per graduate. This is due to the limited number of seats in the ARKEA ARENA.
Once registration closes on September 3rd, and subject to availability, you will have the opportunity to purchase up to two additional seats for your guests at a price of €20 per seat. You will be notified by email when these additional seats become available.
This contribution covers admission to the ceremony for your guests. The School has chosen to donate all proceeds to the KEDGE Foundation.
By reserving these seats, you are helping to fight precarity and address the essential needs of the most vulnerable students.
