Graduate Information
Dual qualifications
- If you’re graduating with more than one qualification you’ll only need to walk across the stage once. You will be acknowledged for both achievements at once.
Graduate Regalia
- All graduating students are required to wear academic regalia at the Graduation Ceremony.
- Regalia will be provided on the day of the ceremony. The regalia is hired by Bendigo TAFE and includes a black gown and black and gold striped stole which must be returned at the conclusion of the evening
- Diploma and Advanced Diploma students will wear a trencher (academic cap) in addition to the gown and stole. This is purchased by Bendigo TAFE and is yours to keep.
- Graduates must arrive between 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm for registration and gowning.
- You’ll be asked to choose your gown size when you register your attendance online. The gown size is determined by your height and is intended to be loose fitting.
Dress code
- You should wear neat formal attire under your gown (thongs, sandals, t-shirts or casual wear are not acceptable).
- Please take into account that the gowns are black and when worn, open at the front and expose the lower arms. Appropriate footwear is a must as you will need to walk up and down stairs. If you would like to wear traditional dress under your gown you are more than welcome to.
