If you do not take this action and are deemed eligible to graduate, the result on your student record will be the result produced on your documentation and a charge will be incurred to have replacement documentation produced and original documentation returned)

Due to the short turnaround times, confirmation of eligibility and ceremony details will not be available until 1 week before the ceremonies take place (it is not possible to provide this information earlier). If this is too short notice for you, please register and/or defer for April graduation ceremonies.
