Preparing for Graduation
The culmination of sometimes years of study is approaching - your graduation day. Graduations Section trusts you will enjoy your graduation and hopes the following information will help you plan for your special day.
The University holds two main rounds of graduation ceremonies each year. In July ceremonies are held at UQ Ipswich and St Lucia while in December ceremonies are held at three campuses; UQ Gatton, UQ Ipswich and St Lucia. Gatton students attending ceremonies in July attend ceremonies on the St Lucia campus. Students completing their programs in Semester 1 attend the July ceremonies while students completing their programs in Semester 2 attend the December ones.
In 2012 a series of International Alumni Events will also held in various centres. International Students are invited to attend the "Graduation and Beyond" information sessions held by Student Services. Information regarding these sessions can be found here.
Dates and times of upcoming ceremonies can be viewed through Events or on the Ceremony dates and times section of this website. Please note that graduands enter the venue in a formal procession approximately 15 minutes before the official start time for each ceremony. Your guests should be seated 20 minutes before the official start time if they wish to observe the entrance of the graduands. If either you or your guests have special needs or require wheelchair access, please contact Graduations Section.
Ceremonies are held in the UQ Centre on the St Lucia campus, the Gymnasium at UQ Gatton and the Ipswich Civic Hall for UQ Ipswich programs.
If you did not attend your graduation ceremony the first time around, you are able to attend the next available ceremony up to one year after the conferral date of your award.
