After a reading of the Proclamation, graduates will be presented to the Vice-Chancellor (or her nominee). You will be prompted by staff to move forward in the order you are seated.

A presenter will read out your name at which point you will ascend the stage, walk towards the Vice-Chancellor, doff and shake her hand. You will then leave the stage and return back to your seat.

The Vice-Chancellor will then ask all students to stand and she will then formally congratulate you. You should “doff” in response and remain standing to receive the University’s Greetings.

Looking towards the Vice-Chancellor, nod your head slightly and either touch the front peak of your cap or raise it very slightly.
