The AUCD Graduation Ceremony is a formal ceremony where graduates will dress in full academic regalia. The ceremony will be followed by drinks and nibbles on the lawns of the University of Sydney.
As there is limited seating in the Great Hall, each student is permitted to bring up to three guests. Those who wish to bring more guests will be able to register their interest through the registration portal, and further tickets will be allocated if they become available at the end of the registration period.
All graduating students must dress in full academic regalia (gown, trencher, and hood). Regalia can be hired from Scene to Believe through the registration portal, or students can provide their own.
As part of the academic dress hire package you will receive two photographs. This includes a portrait photo which is taken once you are fitted with your academic dress (prior to the ceremony) as well as a photo as you are on the stage receiving your award. Additional family portrait sessions can be purchased through the Scene to Believe registration Portal.
All students attending the AUCD Graduation Ceremony must register through the Scene to Believe registration portal. Registrations for the event will close on Wednesday 4 March.
ACOM will be holding informal graduation celebrations in QLD, VIC and WA.
You will receive your certificates in the presence of ACOM staff, family and friends (all welcome), followed by drinks and nibbles. Academic dress will be supplied by ACOM.
