» Guests with tickets must be at the auditorium entrance door no later than 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the ceremony.

The ceremony Graduands will need to enter the auditorium 30 minutes before their ceremony starts so they can be seated in the correct seat and watch a short demonstration on how to cross the stage.

During the ceremony graduands will be asked to stand and their awards will be conferred. Graduands will then be called, row by row to await individual presentation in sequence. A UWS staff member will complete a final check of each row. It is important that graduands remain in their allocated seat to ensure their name is called in the correct order.

Length of ceremoniesUWS graduation ceremonies typically run for 1 to 1.5 hours. All graduates are required to remain in the auditorium until the conclusion of the ceremony.

Graduands, family and friends are invited to join us for complimentary refreshments in the marquee after the ceremony to celebrate.

Regalia return All hired regalia must be returned to building EB within 45 minutes of the conclusion of your ceremony. The Graduation Seat Allocation and Receipt of Regalia Return slip must be stamped by the Graduation Team as proof of regalia return.

For more information about what to expect on the day please go to uws.edu.au/attendyourceremony

We hope you enjoy the day.

Parramatta CampusThe University of Western Sydney’s Parramatta Campus is a true community campus. Its historic buildings – the oldest which dates back to 1813 – means the campus forms a vital part of Sydney’s cultural heritage.

The jewel of the campus is the Female Orphan School – the oldest three-storey brick building in Australia, and the nation’s oldest public building. The Female Orphan School began its life as a refuge for young orphan girls in 1818, and then became a hospital for the mentally ill from 1888 until the 1980s. Now this heritage treasure is open to the community.

We also encourage you to visit other parts of the historic Parramatta campus at your leisure.
