What is the graduation date for 2022

Once the University has assessed you are eligible to have your degree conferred, you will receive an email confirming your completion letter is now available in Sydney Student. This email will usually be sent a couple of weeks after the release of your final results, but for some courses it may be longer.

In this email you will be invited to review and submit your graduation details in Sydney Student (go to ‘My studies', then 'Assessments'). It’s important you complete this task as soon as possible as these details will appear on your testamur and academic transcript.

When your degree will be conferred

Depending on when you receive your completion letter, in most instances you will be allocated to the next available conferral date before your in-person ceremony. The Graduations Office will determine your conferral date and notify you via email.

The standard conferral date for students who have completed their studies in Semester 1, 2022 is Monday 5 September.

However, there may be instances where your conferral date may vary. Most of the time, this is because aspects of your degree are yet to be finalised such as if you have an active appeal or if you have pending results. In these instances, the Graduations Office will determine the most appropriate conferral date.

Once your conferral date has been assigned, we are unable to make any changes.

Conferral dates for 2022 are:

  • Monday 21 February
  • Monday 21 March
  • Friday 22 April
  • Friday 24 June
  • Monday 5 September
  • Friday 11 November
  • Friday 16 December

When you complete your studies at the University of Adelaide you need to apply for the conferral of your award and select a presentation event, either in person or in absentia. Both applications are actioned in your MyAdelaide account.

There are currently six conferral rounds each year.

The conferral dates for 2022 are as follows:

Date Conferral round Available to
9 March 2022 Summer Conferral All programs
30 May 2022 HDR May Conferral Higher Degree by Research programs only

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
