Graduation Ball
The Graduation Ball will take place on November 29th at Clontarf Castle.
You will be treated to the full red-carpet experience beginning with a prosecco reception, professional photographer and music on arrival. The evening will include a delicious dinner, music, and dancing, as well as a few surprises that we have planned. Dress code is formal attire, so please come dressed to impress!
Please note that tickes for the Graduation Ball are now sold out.
Whilst there will be free seating on the evening we are delighted to offer those who would like to get together and organise a table of between 8-12 to email graduationball@ncirl.ie
We look forward to seeing you at the Graduation Ball.
Photography
Lafayette Photography is the official photographer authorised to take photographs on the day of graduation. It is strongly advised to pre-book your photography online as early as possible. Online booking will close at midday the day before your graduation. We advise all graduates to pre-book your photography which you can do closer to the time.
Please note that all photography booked with Lafayette must be booked prior to the commencement of your ceremony. Graduates will not be able to access the photography area after your ceremony has finished.
Lafayette Photography will send your order receipt via email and you can present the QR code to Lafayette Photography staff on the day of your graduation.
Lafayette Photography is the official certificate framing provider for National College of Ireland. The certificate frames may be booked online by visiting their frame shop.
Gowning
Phelan Conan is the official provider for all NCI graduation gowns.
You will be able to collect your cap and gown on the day of your Graduation Ceremony in the Convention Centre up to 1 hour before your ceremony commences, but we do encourage you to collect your gown in advance of the day of your Graduation Ceremony on Monday, November 25th, from 5:30-8:30pm in Room 3.02. All gowns must be returned to the Gown Return stand at the Convention Centre on the day.
Plant a Tree in Your Name
In collaboration with Tree-Nation, NCI is gifting each of our graduates a tree planted in their name. This gesture not only celebrates your academic achievements, but also contributes to the fight against deforestation, climate change, and supports local communities worldwide.
To accept your tree and become part of the NCI forest, complete the online form sent to your email by NCI Alumni Association by the 2nd of December 2024.
