Watch the Ceremony Live!
The University of Adelaide is providing the opportunity for its graduation ceremonies to be viewed live via the internet. A live feed of the ceremonies means that your family and friends from all around the globe can log in and share one of your most memorable days with you in real time. The Graduations Office hopes that in providing this service we will provide a more enjoyable day for our graduands as distance will no longer be an issue.
