Wintec Graduation and Special Awards
Graduation is a special time to celebrate and honour the success of graduands who have met the challenge and commitment of academic study.
We celebrate with you and we honour your success.
New dates for Wintec Graduation
Due to Covid-19 and the need to keep everyone as safe as possible, Wintec made a call to postpone our Graduation ceremonies and parades, which were scheduled for 23-24 March 2022, until September 2022. We appreciate our ākonga/students work hard to reach this point, and graduation is the icing on the cake – which is why we are not cancelling but deferring the events.
Wintec Graduation will be held from 27-28 September 2022, where we can celebrate our graduands' success when it is safer to host large-scale events and at a time when we can welcome everyone together.
We will be in touch with graduands in August to put in place the arrangements for our graduands to attend your graduation in September and celebrate with your whānau/family and friends.
If you are a graduand and you have any questions, please email graduation@wintec.ac.nz.

Marae graduation
Our 2022 Wintec Graduation events are changing to better reflect the diversity of our tauira/learners. We are responding to Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnerships through our commitment to diversity, and raising equity for all tauira by putting them at
the centre – and graduation is a very special time for that.
In previous years, we have held two ceremonies at Te Kōpū Mānia o Kirikiriroa Marae on the Wintec City Campus. The popularity of these events has now exceeded the capacity for this venue, however, so we will not be holding graduation ceremonies at Te Kōpū Mānia o Kirikiriroa Marae in 2022. The Māori cultural components typically seen at the Marae graduation will be retained and will now become part of all Wintec Graduation events. The larger venue at Claudelands supports safer event delivery, ensuring we can respond to Government guidelines for events during the Covid-19 pandemic.
