Ways to graduate

The University offers several graduation ceremonies each year. You can attend a ceremony in person or choose to graduate in absentia. If you graduate in absentia, you will be included in the next graduation round (at any location), and your graduation documents will be mailed to you after the ceremony.

How to register for a ceremony

Scross down and complete the form. You will be prompted to confirm your full name, address details, ceremony date and attendance preferences.

Ensure your name and contact details are correct and up to date

Full name
Your testamur (degree certificate or diploma) will show your full legal name as it is entered in the University’s enrolment system. See Graduation academic documents for information about name change requests.

Email and postal addresses
These addresses are needed for important graduation correspondence. If your details change between now and the graduation date, you need to advise us immediately.

You must also check to ensure any library fines and outstanding loans are resolved.

What happens next?

If you are attending a ceremony, you will receive details instructions about three weeks beforehand, including regalia hire, photography, guest tickets, and event day arrangements. You can also view our webpage ‘what to expect on the ceremony day‘ which includes arrival times and locations.

If you have selected to graduate in absentia, no further action is required.
