Graduation Ceremony
Sydney Law School ceremonies are held in May and November of each year. The University’s Graduations Office will send you details of the formal requirements of the ceremony approximately three weeks before the scheduled date.

Graduating in absentia
If you do not attend the ceremony to which you have been assigned, you will automatically graduate in absentia and your testamur and academic record will be mailed to your last known correspondence address. If you do not wish to attend a ceremony you may have your degree conferred earlier, at a monthly meeting of the University Senate. For this to happen you must advise the Graduations Office in writing after receiving your confirmation of award letter from Sydney Law School.

Alumni
The University wishes to maintain contact with its graduates. You will be sent a copy of the JuristDiction and the Sydney Alumni Magazine. For further information, please contact the Sydney Law School
