Effective from Semester 2 2010 the following changes have been introduced to the graduation process.
Most students will no longer need to apply to graduate.
The Graduations Office will run an automated process which will identify potential graduands based on specified criteria and create applications in Access Adelaide for the students who satisfy the criteria.
For course work based programs the criteria used to identify potential graduands will be unit based. A student will be considered a potential graduand if they have accumulated sufficient units to satisfy their programs minimum unit requirement factoring in any Credit Transfer units and Current Enrolments.
For Postgraduate Research Students the criteria used to identify potential graduands will be based upon thesis submission date. The automated process will be run on a specified date and will create an application for all research PhD and Masters students who have submitted their thesis by this date.
Students who are not identified as part of the automated process will need to submit a manual application using Access Adelaide.
Step 1
Getting Started
After running the automated process to identify potential graduands, the Graduations Office will email all students advising them to check Access Adelaide for a system generated graduation application. If an application exists, Students should then nominate their ceremony attendance intention via the use of the "View/Update" feature in Access Adelaide. Please note if you do not apply for a presentation event by the deadline your parchment will not be produced.
If a student wishes to apply to graduate in a different award to which they are enrolled they can do so via changing the "Award" on the automatically created application.
If an automatic application has not been generated and the student feels they will be eligible to graduate at the upcoming conferral event they can create a manual application. This should be done via the ‘Apply" button in Access Adelaide.
Students do not need to attend a ceremony in order to graduate from their award; however they will need to apply to graduate in absentia in order to receive a parchment. Eligible students will have a conferral statement added to their transcripts, stating that they are an official graduate of the University. The conferral statement for Summer Conferral students will be added to transcripts on March the 9th.The graduation application process is an online process. Go to Step 2 to make your application.
After your degree has been conferred, the Graduations office will notify you via email of the dates to check Access Adelaide to confirm:
- the date and time of the ceremony to which you have been allocated (for in person graduates);
- the number of tickets allocated to your guests;
- details about the time and place for the briefing before the graduation presentation ceremony; or
- how to obtain your parchment in absentia
The presentation of degree parchments will occur at graduation presentation ceremonies (dates of the graduation presentation ceremonies).
This website provides you with all the information you will need to know about graduations. You will not be sent any information in the mail.
