Apply to Graduate

Graduation at RMIT University

If you believe that you are eligible to graduate, you are responsible for advising the University that you wish to graduate and receive your award (certificate). You need to apply to graduate and choose to either attend a ceremony, or graduate in absentia (receiving your certificate by mail).

If you need a statement that confirms you have completed your program before you receive your testamur (certificate), you can apply for a Statement of Academic Completion (SAC) by logging into the Graduation Database.

Graduation at a ceremony

If you wish to graduate at a ceremony you can attend either the Melbourne Graduation Ceremony in December or one of the offshore graduation ceremonies in September.

Note: If you have outstanding results or credit transfers you will be excluded from participation in a graduation ceremony.

Graduation in absentia

If you do not wish to attend a graduation ceremony, you still need to apply to graduate so that you can be conferred (graduate) in absentia. RMIT confers in absentia on the last working day of each month subject to your school confirming that you have completed your program. Your certificate will be posted to you by registered mail approximately six weeks after your conferral date.
