Graduation
Graduation is an important milestone for all students, marking as it does the end of a long period of learning and the beginning of a new career, sometimes a first career, often a second career in a different profession.

Applications to Graduate in April 2009 are now open and close on 21 November 2008. Applications forms are available on the Student Administration Forms page and can be lodged at any Student Centre. |
Australian ceremonies
We conduct two graduation sessions in Australia each year, one in April - May and another in September.
The next round of graduation ceremonies will be held 18-24 April 2009 with a number of ceremonies scheduled each day (commencing times to be advised). Applications to graduate in the September 2008 ceremonies have closed.
Confirmation of graduation letters for eligible graduands who have applied are sent out approximately six weeks before the ceremonies. Letters for the September 2008 ceremonies have now been sent to eligible graduands. Your letter contains important details about your ceremony, including the date and time; payment information; guest and ticket information. If you want to attend your graduation ceremony, you must make your payment using iPay by the date stated in your letter. If you do not make this payment, you will not be able to attend the ceremony. Late payments will not be accepted.
