Your graduation options

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. For those who prefer, a quieter, smaller ceremony is also available.
  • 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.
  • Receive your certificate - If you decide not to attend a graduation ceremony, you will graduate in absentia. We will post your certificate to you after the ceremony.

What you need to do
