Pay for graduation
You must pay your graduation fees in order to receive your graduation documentation.
Paying your fees before the cut-off date ensures that you will receive all your documentation on the day (if you’re attending your graduation ceremony) or mailed to you in the weeks following graduation ceremonies (if you’re graduating in absentia).
- When is the graduation fee cut-off date?
What if I don’t pay by the due date?
If you nominate to graduate in attendance
The University will assume that you are not attending your graduation ceremony. This means that a seat will not be reserved for you at your ceremony and you will also graduate in absentia (more information below).
If you nominate to graduate in absentia
Your documents will not be mailed to you until the full ‘in absentia’ payment has been received by the University.
If you pay on time, your documentation will be posted in the first mail out after graduation ceremonies conclude.
Due to the large number of students who graduate in absentia, students who pay after the cut-off date won’t have their documentation posted until after the first mail out has been completed. This may take up to one month after the conclusion of the graduation ceremonies.
Fees for graduating in attendance
If you have applied to graduate in attendance you have two options.
1. Attending graduation (hire regalia)
The cost is $120 and this includes:
- Regalia hire
- Four guest tickets
- Refreshments for yourself and your four guests
Your testamur and AHEGS will be provided to you at your ceremony
This payment option allows you to select the items you wish to purchase (trencher, hood and gown).
You also need to manually select the $55 compulsory attendance fee which includes:
- Four guest tickets
- Refreshments for yourself and your four guests
Your testamur and AHEGS will be provided to you at your ceremony
Important
Make sure you have selected all the correct regalia pieces as well as the attendance fee. If you don't order all pieces of regalia you may be disappointed on the day as orrders are packed before the graduation ceremonies begin. We do not carry large amounts of stock to accommodate any incorrect orders.
