FAQs and other important information
What happens next?
Attending
About 6 weeks prior to the ceremony date you will receive further information by email.
It will include:
- how to hire regalia
- how to book guest tickets
- photography
- venue and arrival time details
Bookings for regalia and guest tickets must be completed no later than 3 weeks before the ceremony date.
Some of this information is available in advance, from the What to expect on the ceremony day webpage.
Graduating in absentia
If you have selected to graduate in absentia, you will not need to take any further action unless your address details change (in which case you must advise us immediately).
Check your name and contact details
In addition to choosing your preferred date of conferral and whether or not you will attend the ceremony, this registration process also prompts you to confirm your name and contact details. We use this information to cross-check our student records, to ensure that we have the spelling of your name correct and your current residential and postal address.
Full name
Your graduation documents (Transcript, AHEGS and Testamur) will show your full legal name as it is entered in the University’s enrolment database.
On the Testamur (certificate), it is possible to apply to have one or more of your legal names omitted, or to vary the order of your names in a culturally appropriate order.
If you would like to apply for any changes to be made to your Testamur, you must email your request to graduation@divinity.edu.au by the registration deadline given in your invitation to graduate. Proof of identity documentation indicating your full legal name must be supplied with your request. See Graduation Academic Documents for more 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.
Defer or change to another ceremony
Change to another ceremony (after registration)
We encourage you to fully consider the ceremony options (noting dates and locations) before submitting your registration. However, if your situation changes, it is possible to request a change up to 21 days prior to the ceremony date you have selected.
Please email graduation@divinity.edu.au if you wish to apply to change your selected ceremony date.
Defer your graduation to a future year
You can apply to defer your graduation to a future graduation season. Please contact graduation@divinity.edu.au by the deadline given above if you wish to request to defer your graduation.
