Key Dates for Graduands
Graduation is a fantastic celebration of your achievements. To ensure your experience goes to plan, please ensure you return RSVPs and details by the required deadlines. You should expect the following communications, please contact us if you do not receive the expected information.
October-November
- Address
- Mobile
Why? If we need to send out your graduation certificate, this will be sent to the last postal address we have recorded for you. We will need your email address to invite you to attend a graduation event and ensure you receive your guest tickets and required information. We may also text, call, or email you if we are missing information or need to advise you of a change.
February-March
We will contact you by email about your certificate and the graduation ceremonies. Certificates will be handed out at the ceremony for those attending or will be sent out in mid-May for those who do not attend, so it is important to make sure we have your most up-to-date contact details. There will also be an opportunity to pick up certificates in person – details will be included in the email. If you have not received your certificate by mid-June, please email us at graduation@wintec.ac.nz.
Your invitation to attend a graduation event is managed online through the student@wintec portal. If you're a graduating student, you will receive an email at the end of March with instructions on what you need to do.
April
Academic dress hire: Regalia is available to hire or buy from Academic Dress Hire – this needs to be ordered well in advance of your ceremony and can be ordered online. Instructions on how to order regalia will be available at www.academicdresswaikato.co.nz.
Guest tickets: You will be sent an email confirming your attendance if you have chosen to attend a graduation event and a link to reserve your guest tickets. Make sure you have read all the information on this website and that you know:
- Where and when you need to be at your ceremony
- What is expected of you at graduation
- When to collect your regalia and how to wear it
