Graduation ceremony timeline
Use the table below to see which ceremony series you’re likely to be invited to based on your conferral date.
Please keep in mind that these dates are subject to change – your ceremony date is not confirmed until you receive an official invitation. We recommend waiting until you have received your official invitation and you’ve completed your RSVP and Graduation Fee payment before booking flights or accommodation.
Once the schedule is finalised, your invitation will be sent to your student email 6–8 weeks before the ceremony. We cannot confirm your exact ceremony date and time earlier than this.
