Graduation
Graduation is an important event in the life of the Institute. Graduation ceremonies provide a public occasion to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of our graduands and the expertise and dedication of their teachers. On this occasion we also remember the support of family, partners and friends. All CIT graduation ceremonies are robed occasions. Academic dress consists of a black gown with long sleeves, a hood or stole and a black mortarboard (cap) depending on the qualifications. It has its origins in the everyday dress of scholars and teachers in the Middle Ages. Nowadays ceremonial occasions would not be the same without colourful regalia celebrating the achievements of students, staff and family. When: May and October each year
Option for International Students: December each year
Please Note: Some qualifications are not conferred at a graduation ceremony: for these programs awards are posted to successful students within 4 weeks of receipt of an Application for Award. Your teachers will have information on whether or not the awards for your program are conferred at a graduation ceremony. 2008 Graduation CeremoniesWednesday 14 May, 1pm Conferring of Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate, Degree, Advanced Diploma and Diploma qualifications
