Graduation is a celebration of achievement
Graduation marks the end of a long period of extensive learning and is a celebration of the dedication, achievement and effort at one of New Zealand's leading universities.
If you are eligible to graduate as a result of the previous semester's examinations you must apply to graduate. It is your responsibility to make sure you complete your application before the closing dates as late applications will not be accepted.
If you are waiting for results from Summer School (Semester 3), or if you are a postgraduate student who has submitted a thesis, you may not receive your results before the closing date for applications. You will still need to apply before the closing date even if your results have not arrived.

- In person - have your scroll presented to you in person at a graduation ceremony
- In absentia - graduate at a ceremony without attending. Your scroll will be posted to you
- In Council - your degree, diploma or certificate will be awarded by the Academic Board at one of their meetings and the scroll posted to you. Please note: you do not attend this meeting
