Step 3
Graduation Status
To be eligible to graduate, you must:
- Complete all of the Academic Requirements of your award
You must have fulfilled all the academic requirements specified in the Academic Program Rules related to your award.
Research students must submit the final, bound copies of their thesis to the Graduate Centre by the Thesis Deadline. - Complete any Practical Experience required
If your award requires the completion of a period of practical experience, you must ensure evidence of completion is lodged with your Faculty/School by your relevant Anomalies Deadline. - Be in Good Financial Standing with the University
If you have outstanding financial obligations with the University, you are not permitted to graduate. It is your responsibility to ensure that you clear all of your outstanding financial obligations before the Anomalies Deadline.
Notification of Graduation Status
The Graduations Office will notify you of your eligibility or ineligibility to graduate ONLY via Access Adelaide on the Graduation Status Letter Date.
Ineligible to Graduate
If you are ineligible for any of the above reasons, you have until the Anomalies Deadline to resolve those issues in order to be included in the event.
Research students should note that the Thesis Deadline is earlier than the Anomalies Date.
For any anomalies with regard to your academic qualifications, you should contact your Faculty/School or the Graduate Centre. Please note that your Faculty/School or the Graduate Centre are the only ones who can provide accurate details about your eligibility in this regard.
For any outstanding financial obligations, you should contact the relevant financial sections of the University:
Adelaide University Union - Education and Welfare Officers (emergency loans, student loans, housing/accommodation, union fees)
Barr Smith Library (library fines)
Student Finance Office (HECS HELP and full fee paying tuition fees)
What happens if you are unable to resolve your problems and are not eligible to graduate?
If you cannot resolve the issues preventing you from graduating prior to the Anomalies deadline, your application will become inactive and you will not graduate. You will need to submit an application to graduate in the next round of conferrals using Access Adelaide when they open.
Cross Institional Enrolment
If you are relying on results from another institution in order to qualify and graduate, contact your Faculty/School as soon as possible to negotiate a suitable time for those results to be made available.
Supplementary Examinations
Students who accept an offer of a supplementary examination, and who have applied to graduate, are not guaranteed to have their award conferred and may need to apply for the next round of conferral.
