Select how you would like to receive your graduation documents:

In order to graduate, it is a University requirement that all materials must be returned and all fines/fees must be settled. This includes any tuition fees, loans, library books and fines.

Students can check their accounts by contacting Student Administrative Services. Library accounts can be checked through the myLibrary login, located on the Academic Library webpage.

*Academic Dress must also be worn over the Uniform.

All graduands are required to wear the appropriate academic dress during the Degree Conferring Ceremony

For non-military graduands, the hood is designed to hook under a tie or a button. It is recommended that graduands wear a tie or buttoned shirt as this secures the hood and prevents it from moving during the ceremony. Staff will be on hand to assist in pinning the hood if required. 

Graduands are advised that there will be a requirement to walk up and down stairs to access the stage, therefore appropriate shoes are essential. 

Tickets will be available for collection on Friday 15 September from 0800 at the gowning service area in Adams Auditorium when you collect your academic dress. Graduands must bring identification and will be required to sign for their allocated tickets.

Guests will not be able to enter the venue without a ticket.

Graduands or guests requiring special assistance in relation to accessibility and seating are advised to contact SAS@adfa.edu.au as soon as possible.

All Graduands will be photographed as they receive their testamur on stage. This is an important moment as you graduate and it will be captured and available to you to look back on and remember.

Studio photography will be available on the conferral day.

Graduates and their guests are invited to attend the Graduate Reception in the Adams Auditorium foyer immediately after the Graduation/Conferral Ceremony. Light refreshments will be provided.
