Graduation

Graduation ceremony schedule

Once you've met all the eligibility requirements, you'll be invited to celebrate at a ceremony for your faculty or school. We’ll let you know the exact date of your graduation ceremony in your ceremony invitation, which we email:

  • for Semester 1 ceremonies, about six – seven weeks before ceremonies begin
  • for Semester 2 ceremonies, about five – six weeks before ceremonies begin.

You cannot postpone your graduation ceremony. However, you can choose to graduate without attending a ceremony as your degree is awarded on your conferral date.

Proposed schedule for 2025

These proposed ceremony dates are subject to change. Your graduation invitation will include the details of your graduation ceremony time, date and location. If you make any travel plans before you receive your invitation, please ensure these are flexible.
