Can I still graduate if I have a referral assignment?

I've recently gotten my grades back for my final year, but I have two referral assignments. I have enough of the weighted grade to pass my course, but because of these two module referrals, I'm concerned that I won't be able to graduate on graduation day (mid-july) until I have handed these assignments in for mid-august. If anyone has any experience with this sort of situation, I really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Not 100% sure but you’ll probably have to attend a graduation ceremony set for a late date (unis often hold summer and winter graduations). But it’s best to email the relevant team at uni to clarify.

Likely that it'll be the winter graduation, but as above, you should really check.

What ended up happening if you don’t mind me asking?

I ended up passing both referrals and graduated in November instead. It all worked out in the end, and now I'm studying my Masters.
