Deferring your graduation

If you want to attend a ceremony but can’t attend on your allocated date, you can apply to defer your ceremony.

To be eligible to defer you must:

  • only defer once, for up to 12 months
  • have compelling personal, medical, cultural or academic reasons
  • provide supporting evidence.

Note: Graduates approved for a ceremony deferral will be invited to a December ceremony.

If you find you can't attend your graduation ceremony, you can also graduate in absentia.
