Why didn't you go when you graduated?

Precisely because there was no specific date (and my family had no interest in the ceremonial, either). I already had my first job offer, before I sat finals, and I already had a short-term job to take me up to the start date (which was the following January, to fit with internal training courses), and holidays to have, and romance to pursue, and in short I was too busy as well as too lazy to think it mattered or do anything about it. So I never got round to it, and it didn't matter.
Granted, times were different, and it was a more trusting world. The temporary job asked for my certificate, I said that I didn't have one yet, and no more was said about it. That was the first and last time it's come up.

Ah, in that case it's definitely different. Graduate degree ceremonies seem to be about every two months, but undergraduates all graduate together over the weekend closest to the end of June/beginning of July. Your college has a set date and time, and everyone processes together. Sort of a final shindig before leaving.

Actually, I do recall going to my son's do in Cambridge.
