Attending graduation is one of the most exciting parts of obtaining your qualification.
Graduation is a formal event, and an important part of recognising your academic progress. University Medals of Excellence are awarded and a Valedictorian speaks on behalf of the graduating cohort.
As a public acknowledgement of your achievement, you will celebrate surrounded and supported by fellow graduates, friends, family and the VU community.
VU will be hosting ceremonies between 12 September and 16 September 2022 at Flemington Racecourse to celebrate the achievements of our Semester 1, 2022 students. You do not need to do anything to be invited.
If you have successfully completed your course, an invitation will be sent to your student email in early August 2022.
If you have any questions, you can email us, speak to us via live chat or call us on +61 3 9919 6100.
We look forward to celebrating your success with you in person in March 2022.
