Dear Kamran,

I acknowledge receipt of your email/letter received by this office on 09/05/2021.
Your request will now be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and has been allocated reference FOI21-195 which should be quoted in all correspondence. We will respond to your request within 20 working days starting the next working day after receipt, therefore you can expect to receive a response no later than 07/06/2021.
Please note that in order to fulfil your request we need to liaise with other teams across the University. Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic most staff are now working remotely, and it is possible that there will be a delay in responding to your request. Staff may not be able to assist as they may need to prioritise other work, cover for colleagues who are ill or be away from work themselves due to illness. However, we will do our best to meet this deadline and keep you informed should we be unable to do so.
In some circumstances a fee may be payable and, if that is the case, we will let you know. A fees notice will be issued to you, and you will be required to pay before we will proceed to deal with your request.

Dear Kamran Ali

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 12
May 2021.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

1) For your students who graduated in 2020, have they had an in-person
graduation yet?

2) If no to question 1., are there plans to have an in-person graduation,
when restrictions have been lifted? If so, will they be the same as
previous cohorts (2019, 2018, etc.) and when are they currently planned
for?

3) For your students who are due to graduate in 2021, will they have an
in-person graduation? If no, what are your plans for these students?

Information on graduation ceremonies for 2020 and 2021 and current future
plans can be found on our website at: [1]Ceremonies - Graduation - Cardiff
