When you have completed the courses required for your program, you may apply (online,<br />

or using a paper form) to graduate at a graduation ceremony, or in absentia.<br />

Graduation ceremonies are held in Melbourne, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong<br />

Kong. <strong>The</strong> Melbourne Graduation Ceremony is usually held in mid-December. If you apply<br />

for a graduation ceremony, you will receive your award at that ceremony, provided you<br />

meet the online deadlines to book and pay for tickets, gown rental, etc.<br />

Yes. If you choose to graduate in absentia, your award will be posted to your mailing<br />

address, as it appears in the graduation database; you can update this address online. In<br />

absentia applications are checked and approved at the end of each month, and the<br />

testamurs are posted during the following month.<br />
