Melville Hall Graduation Image

Applications:

Eligibility:

 

Most students will be automatically picked up and assessed by the academic area and DO NOT need to apply.

You do not need to apply for graduation if:

  • you are enrolled in Semester 1 2012 in the program you hope to graduate from in the July 2012 ceremony.
  • you were enrolled in the program you hope to graduate from in Autumn Session 2011, Winter Session 2011, Semester 2 2011, Spring Session 2011, Summer Session 2012, or Semester 1 2012.
  • you have previously been identified as eligible to graduate or approved to graduate but did not respond to the graduation invitation sent to you previously.
  • you have been approved to graduate and deferred the conferring of your award to the July 2012 ceremony.

You do need to apply for graduation by completing the application form if:

  • the last effective enrolment you had in the program that you wish to graduate from was prior to Autumn Session 2011 (this means that you were not enrolled in Autumn Session 2011, Winter Session 2011, Semester 2 2011, Spring Session 2011, Summer Session 2012, or Semester 1 2012).
  • you are an ANU student enrolled elsewhere on a Cross Institutional or Exchange basis. Students in this category wishing to graduate must also arrange to have an official transcript of results from the host institution forwarded to your home College together with a request to have the status recorded by 30 June for the July graduation session or by 1 November for the December graduation session.
  • you are a student in a combined program who wishes to confer only one of the degrees in that program.
  • you are a student who has applied to have credit transferred to your current program.

If you are presently active in the program from which you wish to graduate, you can apply to graduate through ISIS. Select Graduation>Apply for Graduation and follow the instructions.

If you are unable to complete the online application, please print out the APPLICATION FORM and return to the Examinations and Graduation Office before the due date, 31 March for July conferral and 31 August for December conferral.

Students who are being considered for graduation will see a message in ISIS in April 2012 for the July 2012 conferring of awards.

Students who have previously deferred their graduation and all PhD students may not see a message in ISIS, but will receive an invitation in May 2012.

 

Your College administration will assess you as eligible for graduation on the following conditions:

 

  1. You have satisfied the academic requirements of the program. This is determined by the academic area and depends on all results being finalised before results are released.

    If you disagree with your graduation status, you need to contact your College administration office. The Examinations and Graduations Office cannot change your eligibility status without written authorisation from the College administration or assess your eligibility for graduation.


  2. All financial obligations to the ANU (fees, fines, rent etc.) have been met.  These must be paid by 15 JUNE 2012 .

 

ELIGIBILITY DETAILS

Your academic area will assess your eligibility to graduate based on your academic record including current enrolment as at 31 March. If you intend to drop a course after this date, you should check with your academic area beforehand to check if it will affect your eligibility to graduate.

Your academic area can assess you as "Not Eligible", "Approved", or as "Conditionally approved" upon you passing your currently enrolled courses. If you are assessed as "Approved" or "Conditionally Approved" we will send you an invitation in October.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE RESPONSE TO INVITATION BY 15 JUNE 2012, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ATTEND THE CEREMONY BUT WANT THE AWARD MAILED TO YOU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roll - Over: Graduate Coursework Programs:

If you are assessed as:

(example: Graduate Diploma to Masters)

 

If you are enrolled in a 'roll-over' program which can be articulated to a higher award you must inform your program administrator by 31 March/31 August if you do wish to continue to the higher award. Otherwise your administrator will assume you are not articulating and will assess your eligibility for conferral of the lower award. If you receive an invitation to have the lower award conferred and you do not wish to graduate, you should tick option 4 on the Response to Invitation "I do not wish to have this award conferred, I intend to transfer the credit to a higher award".

 

 

 

     

~ "Conditionally Approved" - your eligibility to graduate will be confirmed by the University when results are released. Confirmation will be posted on ISIS within five days of the release of results for currently enrolled students. You must check ISIS to confirm that you are eligible to graduate.

 

~ "Not Eligible" - students made "Not Eligible" due to late or unresolved grades will not be eligible to graduate in the current session. Please note that if you are appealing a grade which may affect the overall level of your award, you will not be permitted to graduate unless the appeal can be resolved at least five days before the first graduation ceremony. If any corrections are made to your graduation eligibility after results are released, your name and/or changes will not appear in the Conferring Program.

Students assessed as "Not Eligible" will be sent an email to their University ID email account. Notification of "Not Eligible" status will not be posted.
