Ceremonies

When does your scheduled graduation ceremony take place?

The semester in which you completed your studies (final semester) determines when your graduation ceremony will take place.

Final semester	Scheduled graduation ceremony
Semester 3, 2020	Aug-Sep 2021 - Sydney, Toowoomba, Ipswich
Semester 1, 2021	Aug-Sep 2021 - Sydney, Toowoomba, Ipswich
Semester 2, 2021	Dec 2021 & Jan 2022 - Toowoomba & Ipswich

After Results Release in your final semester, when you receive your Congratulations Graduand! communication, you will be asked to urgently complete the online Graduate Response#1 before Friday 16 April 2021, and register for ‘Mail my testamur’. This ensures you’ll receive your print testamur in a COVID Safe manner in early May 2021 via mail or courier to the mailing address in your Student Centre, or USQ Education Partner.
In mid May 2021, your online Graduate Response#2 will appear, so you can register for a Toowoomba, Ipswich or Sydney graduation ceremony in August/September 2021. You’ll need to select a ceremony and pay the AUD150 Ceremony Fee by the deadline in early August 2021. You will only have 1 opportunity to register for the ceremony that suits you and your guests best, so please ensure your selection is correct before you submit your Graduate Response#2 (Deferred Ceremony). More information will be available closer to the date.

More information will be available from early May 2021.
