Invitation
Six weeks prior to the Graduation ceremony, all graduands eligible to graduate at the on-campus Graduation ceremony will receive an email invitation to their USC student email account.
Remember to update your contact details (postal and email addresses) on USCCentral to ensure you receive your invitation and remember to check your USC student email account.
RSVP
To RSVP to attend the Graduation ceremony graduands are required to complete and submit the online RSVP Form. Details will be available in your Graduation Invitation. This form is made available on this website once the invitations have been emailed via your USC student email account.
If no response is received by the advertised due date, you are considered as not participating in the Graduation ceremony and will be marked as inabsentia. Late requests may not be processed.
Graduation Guide
The Graduation Guide contains important information for graduands including dates, times and deadlines relating to the Graduation ceremony.
This guide will be available as a download on this website once the invitations have been emailed.
Graduands should check the latest announcements on a regular basis for updates regarding the ceremony, collection of academic dress, and more.
Inabsentia
If you are unable to attend the ceremony, your degree certificate (testamur) will be posted to your current mailing address, as recorded on USCCentral, within two weeks after the Graduation ceremony.
Visa requirements and travel arrangements
Overseas students attending the Graduation ceremony are responsible for obtaining any required visas, and for making any accommodation and travel arrangements.
Please note that it may take up to four weeks to be issued with a visa.
