Graduation and conferral schedule
What is conferral
When you have completed the requirements of your degree, you will be eligible to have your degree conferred. Conferral is the process where you are awarded your degree at the University. After conferral you can use any titles associated with your degree. In most circumstances, your degree will be conferred soon after the completion of your study and before the date of your graduation ceremony.
You will receive a digital version of your graduation documents 2-5 business days after your degree is conferred. These graduation documents will be sent to your personal email address, as recorded in Sydney Student, with information on how to create an account with My eQuals. This will also be the address we use to set up your My eQuals account.

Graduation ceremony schedule
The link for your ceremony will be available 15 minutes before your ceremony commences. Search under your discipline for the date and time of your ceremony. You can find these details of your graduation ceremony in the graduation invitation email we sent you. There is now one link students can use to access the live stream for their ceremony, regardless of where they are in the world.

Steps to conferral
Once the University has assessed you are eligible to have your degree conferred, you will receive an email confirming your completion letter is now available in Sydney Student. This email will usually be sent a couple of weeks after the release of your final results, but for some courses it may be longer.
In this email you will be invited to review and submit your graduation details in Sydney Student (go to ‘My studies', then 'Assessments'). It’s important you complete this task as soon as possible as these details will appear on your testamur and academic transcript.
When your degree will be conferred
Depending on when you receive your completion letter, in most instances you will be allocated to the next available conferral date before your in-person ceremony. The Graduations Office will determine your conferral date and notify you via email.
The standard conferral date for students who have completed their studies in Semester 1, 2022 is Monday 5 September.
However, there may be instances where your conferral date may vary. Most of the time, this is because aspects of your degree are yet to be finalised such as if you have an active appeal or if you have pending results. In these instances, the Graduations Office will determine the most appropriate conferral date.
Once your conferral date has been assigned, we are unable to make any changes.
Conferral dates for 2022 are:
- Monday 21 February
- Monday 21 March
- Friday 22 April
- Friday 24 June
- Monday 5 September
- Friday 11 November
- Friday 16 December
