Graduation

VIT is organizing graduation ceremonies in Melbourne and Sydney for students successfully completing BITS, MITS, MBA and GCBA courses in 2022. The ceremony dates are

(1) Friday 16th June 2023 in Melbourne and
(2) Friday 23rd June 2023 in Sydney

All eligible graduates are cordially invited to attend the Graduation Ceremony to take part in the conferral of the degree and to receive your Testamur (the degree certificate) in person. If you cannot attend the Graduation Ceremony you still need to register graduate and will receive your Testamur in the mail. (This is called graduation in absentia.)

All costs are listed in the registration form.

• To attend the Graduation Ceremony, all graduands MUST wear the proper VIT academic dress (regalia), which you can choose to either hire or purchase.
• If you are not attending the Graduation Ceremony and need your Testamur posted, there is a processing and postage fee ($60 for addresses in Australia, $100 for international addresses).
• You must apply and pay either the academic dress fee or in absentia the processing fee prior to Sunday 2 April 2023 so that your name is included for award conferral during the June 2023 Graduation Ceremony.
• Each graduand will be provided up to two (2) guest tickets at $75 each on request. If you wish to invite more guests, additional guest tickets (subject to availability) can be purchased at $75 per guest. Please indicate the number of guest tickets in the registration form. You will be advised the availability of additional tickets by the end of May 2023.
• If your guests are from outside Australia and you wish to obtain a referral letter for Visa application, please indicate this in the registration form. Once we receive your request, we will issue the referral letters.
• If you are opting to receive your award in absentia, you should ensure that you have updated your postal address in the online form. Your award will be couriered before the end of July 2023.
