Presentation Events

You have two options for receiving your testamur:

1. Attend a graduation ceremony that is scheduled within 12 months of your conferral date - you have the choice of either the next April/May or the next September ceremony round (please note that ceremony attendance is no longer available once 12 months have passed since your conferral date).
2. Receive your testamur in the next available In Absentia round.

It is your responsibility to select a presentation event in your MyAdelaide account, to receive your testamur. Strict deadlines apply.

Graduation Ceremonies and In Absentia

There are currently two rounds of graduation ceremonies held at the University of Adelaide's North Terrace campus each year. Each of these are immediately followed by an In Absentia round for graduates who choose not to attend a ceremony.

• April/May graduation ceremonies
• September graduation ceremonies
