AUT graduation
Graduation is a special day you can share with your friends, family and your AUT lecturers. We usually hold two AUT graduations each year, and during the graduation ceremony, graduating students are presented with their qualification, with family and friends invited to watch.

Understanding graduation at AUT
AUT operates a flexible graduation model throughout the year – this means that your qualification can be granted soon after you’ve completed your studies, no matter the time of year. The granting of a qualification and a graduation ceremony are related – but they can be two separate events.
