celebrating academic achievement
At Sydney Met, we recognise graduation as a significant milestone in a student’s academic journey, marking the culmination of a student’s dedication and hard work. It is a celebration of academic accomplishments with peers, family, and friends, honouring both individual and shared sacrifices. We encourage all eligible students to attend the graduation ceremony to celebrate their achievements.
Sydney Met holds its annual graduation ceremony each November/December, with specific dates announced on the website and to eligible students by mid-year.
To be eligible, students must:
Award Conferral
Eligible students will have their award conferred at the next graduation ceremony.
Graduating in Absentia
Graduates unable to attend may opt to graduate in absentia, with awards sent by registered post after the ceremony. Those who miss their ceremony will be invited to the next available ceremony.
Graduation Documentation
Graduates receive their graduation documents. Make sure your legal name is correct in your student records. You can request a Letter of Completion to confirm you have met all requirements and are eligible to graduate. This letter can be used for study or employment and takes about 15 working days to process after final results are released.

Invitations are emailed 5-6 weeks before the ceremony, with details on fees, guest tickets, and academic dress. Reminders are sent until the registration deadline.

Sydney Met's campus is located on the unceded territory of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional owners of the land where the campus is situated. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging. We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia and Indigenous peoples globally who are presently studying, working, or contributing to Sydney Met.
