Graduation schedule for July 2024

In Summer 2024, Graduation ceremonies will take place on campus from Thursday 11 July 2024 to Friday 26 July 2024. The complete schedule for Graduation ceremonies in July 2024 is published on this page.

All finalist students are required to register a graduation choice starting from 22 April 2024.  Attendance at Graduation is not guaranteed if you don’t register by the deadline of 17 May 2024.  

To make Graduation more accessible, we are planning to offer the option of an alternative Graduation experience this July. This experience is designed for students or guests with learning difficulties, autism, social anxiety, or sensory processing difficulties, but is open to any students or guests who may find this alternative format more comfortable, subject to availability. We will be confirming details about Relaxed Graduation shortly. It is anticipated this will be on a separate day to the ceremonies listed on this page.

In addition, we are planning to offer the option of joining a Virtual Graduation. This would be held for students who are unable to attend in person. We will be confirming details about Virtual Graduation shortly. It is anticipated this will be on a separate day to the ceremonies listed on this page.

Please only register to attend one Graduation event.
