How many people can I attend the Graduation with?

Access to the Piazza will be free; graduates will have a reserved sector, while seating for guests will be available while seats last and in an area separate from that of the graduates.
Is it necessary to participate at the Graduation to collect the diploma or can it also be received somehow at another time?
Graduation is an important moment for both the participants and the School. Attendance at the Graduation is recommended but not mandatory for obtaining the diploma. Diplomas that will not be collected during the Graduation will remain available, after the end of the event, for direct collection at Bologna Business School or upon request and at the graduate’s expense, by booking the collection.
