Key things to note

Reassessments:

  • If you need to take a reassessment to complete your studies, and your course finishes in September 2024, you will likely be invited to the January 2025 ceremony, as decided by the Academic Board.
  • In exceptional circumstances confirmed by the Assessment Team, if you complete your reassessment and your records show you have successfully finished your course by August 1, 2024, the Graduation Team will do their best to invite you to the September 2024 ceremony.

Ceremony Dates:

  • All dates are provisional until you receive your official invitation via email, sent to both your personal and CCCU email addresses, about eight weeks before the event.
  • The Graduation Team advises against making any accommodation or travel arrangements until you receive your official invitation.
  • If you have requested to defer/postpone your ceremony, the Graduation Team will contact you with the new date.
