Your graduation options

Registration is open between 10am on Tuesday 21 October and 12 noon on Friday 14 November.

You can decide when, where and how you graduate from the three options below:

  • Attend your ceremony - Come and celebrate with us! Check the ceremony dates and times to see when yours is and get planning.
  • Defer your graduation - If you can't make your ceremony, you can choose to defer and attend your ceremony at a later date. If you choose to defer your graduation, you will not receive your certificate until your chosen graduation date. Please note, you can only defer your graduation date twice.
  • Receive your certificate - If you decide not to attend a graduation ceremony, you will graduate in absentia and receive your certificate by post or collect it in person following the winter ceremonies.
