If you cannot make it to a ceremony you will graduate in absentia. You should still complete the registration process. If you graduate in absentia, your award will be acknowledged in your absence at the ceremony and your graduation academic documents will be posted to you, following the date of the ceremony.
Checklist to graduate in absentia
Once you have been approved to graduate by the University’s Academic Board, you will receive an email inviting you to:
- Open the Graduation Registration form.
- Select “Graduate In absentia” in the attendance section.
- Select the date of conferral (most people choose the next available date, regardless of its location).
- Ensure you have no outstanding tuition fees or library fines and outstanding loans.
