Adelaide Graduation Ceremony

The ceremony of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas and certificates is a time-honoured ritual performed at academic institutions throughout the world. It is the moment when awards are formally made, and as such is a celebration of the academic achievements of the graduands.
Graduation ceremonies at the University of Divinity honour the University’s academic excellence, collegiate structure and Christian traditions. At the ceremony, each attending graduand’s name and award is read out and the graduand is presented with their academic documents by the Chancellor or a deputy. Ceremonies are normally held each year in Melbourne (March) and Adelaide (November/December), as authorised by the University’s Council. Both ceremonies are open to all students of the University.
