When you have completed the courses required for your program, you may apply (online,<br />
or using a paper form) to graduate at a graduation ceremony, or in absentia.<br />
Graduation ceremonies are held in Melbourne, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong<br />
Kong. <strong>The</strong> Melbourne Graduation Ceremony is usually held in mid-December. If you apply<br />
for a graduation ceremony, you will receive your award at that ceremony, provided you<br />
meet the online deadlines to book and pay for tickets, gown rental, etc.<br />
Yes. If you choose to graduate in absentia, your award will be posted to your mailing<br />
address, as it appears in the graduation database; you can update this address online. In<br />
absentia applications are checked and approved at the end of each month, and the<br />
testamurs are posted during the following month.<br />
