Graduation 2024
We have received feedback from some of our members in Southend that transport that used to be provided is no longer running for students travelling between the Southend and Colchester campuses during graduation week due to low uptake.
How can the SU help?
Your Students' Union working in conjunction with the University of Essex Southend campus is able to support you on this occasion only with some of the costs associated with the transport between Southend and Colchester campus. On the day of your graduation the SU can reimburse students £15* for the cost of the train travel between Southend Victoria and Colchester North Station, returning to Southend Victoria. This support is only available to students graduating between Tuesday 16th - Friday 19th July 2024. It is not available to friend's and family of students. Students who have already returned home and are travelling from other parts of the country do not qualify for this support.
What do I need to do?
If you would like to claim this support, please
1.) Reserve your refund with us by booking the free ticket on this page (1 ticket per student).
2.) Purchase your rail ticket (we recommend using Trainline | Search, Compare & Buy Cheap Train & Bus Tickets (thetrainline.com)
3.) You will then have until Thursday 25th July 2024 to claim £15 of the total price of the ticket back.
Just email susouthend@essex.ac.uk your website refund ticket & rail ticket/receipt and once you have received your confirmation you can pop into the second floor of the Forum building anytime between 10:00 - 2:00pm Mon - Fri to collect your refund.
*Funds are limited so support will be given on a first come/first served basis.
