Apply to graduate

To graduate at a ceremony, you must first apply to graduate in Enrolment Online. When you apply, you'll be asked to select the ceremony you want to attend.

If you don't want to graduate at a ceremony, you can apply to graduate in absentia instead. 'In absentia' means that your award is conferred without attending a formal graduation ceremony. These options determine when you'll get your graduation statements. Read more about your graduation options.
