Loughborough Graduation Questions

Hi, I'm graduating from Loughborough this July. I'm autistic and get very nervous around events, and was wondering if anyone could answer my questions to make it a little less stressful since I couldn't find all the info online.

Do you get instructions before the event on what to do while walking on stage or is it just online?
How early is best to get there before it starts?
Do they help you with your gowns and such (hiring) to put on?
Do you pay for the graduation photos or are they provided?

Sorry, I know they're super simple things but I didn't find it very clear online.

Firstly, congratulations! I'm sure you've worked hard to get here and the Loughborough community is really proud of you.
In terms of practicalities:
1) You should be given instructions in advance - it'll likely be an email.
2) If you want to have photo opportunities on the Lawn/in Shirley Peace Square, then get there early. The queues build up quickly throughout the day.
3) I believe some assistance is given - if not you can get a friend to help out.
4) Tempest Photography would be taking photos and so you'll have to pay.
