Graduation
Graduation happens twice a year – in March and September. It’s a big deal for our ākonga and we know all our kaimahi work hard to make this a memorable event for them.
We’ve pulled together some kaimahi FAQs and hope these answer any questions you have. If not, please email graduation@op.ac.nz with your enquiry and then we can add it to this page for others.
We send out communications to graduands in the six weeks leading up to their graduation day and also have a series of webpages about graduation on the website.
We'd LOVE your help pushing some of these key messages:
- graduands MUST pay for their gown before they collect it (as we have no payment facilities in the Gown Room)
- the parade departs from First Church on Moray Place NOT from the Dunedin Dental School (due to roadworks)
- graduands (including staff graduands) MUST check in at the Glenroy Auditorium at 11.30am or they won't be able to cross the stage
- graduands' gowns must be dropped off after the ceremony (drop off times shown below) to avoid costly fines.
